For shad hand ties nothing is better than a Drake mallard flank feather which is gray white in color, #2 is gadwall which is barred black/white coloration. I've used these in every water color from clear to muddy with success. I make them using some flash and finish with some contrasting color of rabbit hair tied in at the throat. Two main thread colors are either red or black. Combos of orange, chartreuse and black for muddy water. Been working for me for over 30 years of tying and fishing with them.
