Help

I want to tie up some small (size 18-22) grey dries of various types, and I need the right size of feather for hackles. I've looked at the Glasgow Angling Centre site and there are LOADS of different kinds and grades.

Anybody got any suggestions as to what I should be looking for?

Thanks

Sounds like one for the experts, but I think you are looking for ?grade A?  or gold grade  genetic capes for such small flies.
