Very nice.
Several years ago, a friend in Europe mistakenly had a Golden Plover skin shipped to me (a PayPal "ship to" mistake he made) and then he told me to keep it. Used those GP hackles for quite awhile until last Fall, when I was able to get another full skin from Cookshill.
Sent the old one to a friend (still had plenty of great hackles) since I sure didn't need two full skins. I tie several dressings with the GP hackles using various shades of dubbing / materials and also with rooster pheasant tails of several colors. The color and texture of the Golden Plover hackles are really nice. Need to tie a few flies with peacock herl bodies and GP hackles and see how they work this season.
