Wanted - kingfisher feathers

[Deleted member 3320]

Wanted to see if anyone who makes floats perhaps has some king fisher feathers or similar. Want to lay it on the top of a rod blank I will be having built.

Happy to pay, postage etc.

I doubt you’ll get kingfisher feathers most floats are done with jay feathers

 

[Luke Hodson]

Kingfishers are protected so the ownership of the feathers is potentially illegal assuming no provenance.
Jays are vermin and covered by the general licence so feathers can be traded and to be honest look fantastic on floats and rods

There used in flying, if you are near a tackle shop with a bias towards flyfishing, try them first.
