I see Cedric's plumage, and wonder how a GHO soft hackled fly would fish. Not in the US, of course, but in some civilized country that is able to distinguish between feathers taken from an illegal source vs those molted naturally... I'd bet they'd be super floaty - the feathering of the leading edge of their wings is what keeps their flight so silent:

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "work with" ! I flew him for 2 years and he didn't have a mean bone in his body. We never killed squat though and if we ever skipped a day flying it was like he had no memory of anything we'd previously done....
