There are a lot of natural materials that you can make fishing bobbers of floats out of. Feathers are on those natural materials that tend to be freely available and really great for the job, they are also easy to prepare. I found a large goose flight or primary feather next to a local park lake, where Canada geese have their young and generally drop them while they are looking after their young.
