I have the standard chartruce colors by Netcraft, Janns, and Barlow, but would like to find a source of the lime/chartruce hackle such as what Crappie Dale is using for his Electric Chicken shown in this section. Anyone have any ideas or websites. I emailed Crappie Dale, but so far no response.
I appreciate the help,

Crappie Dale is using mallard flank feather's he dye's with cushing brand dye exact color I don't know.
I dye my hackle. Was a lot cheaper to buy white and then dye it. Got the exact colors I wanted that way too. I used Rit Dye for mine but a quality Dye will be better and probably easier.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
I also dye my hackle, very easy
For us dyeing challenged people ME LOL with threats from my wife. You could also try the Salt Water sized hackle dyed in the flourescent colors and size it down for crappie jigs.
