I have finally come up with, what I believe is the best feathers for Substituting Rhea feathers for tying Intruder style flies. I have hand selected, cleaned and dyed these feathers myself, They are not bleached or Damaged by the dying process as in similar feathers on the market, so therefore are not brittle or likely to break whilst fishing. They come in packs of 3 and are approximately 5-8 inches long, the tips of the feathers can be wound like a hackle and the long fibres on the rest of the stem can be stripped or cut and placed over a dubbing ball.
