This. This is cool. How many flies can you get from a plume up front?

I have only gotten 1 per plume before you get to the thick part of the stem.

well... looks like if I ever tie these up I'll be taking a swim if I snag one.

Could you just put them in a dubbing loop like steelheaders do on intruders?

Absolutely. I have a bunch of strung Ostrich so I have done that too.

The only issue I've had with putting ostrich in a loop is I can never get it super clean where I tie it off, but with practice I'm sure it would work.

However that would be cutting a ton of fibers off to put in the loop.
