Carl,
Dave at Feather Emporium can usually fill any need when it comes to feathers.

Read this before ordering from feather emporium. I have not ordered from here but I would be concerned. http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com/forum/threads/feather-emporium.121377/

Interesting. I've not ordered through the web site but I've bought lots of feathers from Dave and he's always been great to deal with. In fact, I once told him I needed some pale yellow feathers for some White LIghtnings and he sent me a dozen saddles and told me to pick what I wanted, and send the rest back. Sorry to hear his communication processes aren't working so good.

Carl,
I am not sure what are you tying but I was cleaning my materials recently and found some forgotten feathers I did not and do not use:
Hareline Dubbin Whiting Pro Grade Deceiver Saddle White- $20
Hareline Dubbin Whiting Pro Grade Streamer Cape White- $20
Metz #3 Rooster Neck, Cream (looks white to me, very light cream)- $25
Metz #2 Rooster Neck, Cream (looks white to me, very light cream)- $30
Shipping $7 one or all..

I bought a couple pounds of white saddles and a pound of pink from a company last year. Not cheap, $180.00 per pound but the white saddles are 6" - 7" in length. Same for the pink. I'd have to find the invoice of the company I bought these from.
Here's what I tied up for Guatamala

Jay,

I am interested, however I sure don't need a pound. I would need maybe 200 pink feathers and 100 white. If your interested in selling me that small of amount please email me carlblackiedge@aol.com

The fly in the picture is what I will be tying only not as thick.

Another option is Schlappen feathers. Waters West Fly shop has those feathers in the colors you are asking about.

Guys,

I appreciate all the feedback....I found what I was looking for and all I wanted.

I was told to take at least 4 dozen Cam Sigler look a like flies on my Guatemala Billfish trip this January.
