well here's a good place to start, the Fly pattern database, by material, http://www.flytyingforum.com/materialPheasant.html

 

I think you'll find something that will suite your needs Pheasant is probably one of the most commonly used natural materials used for fly tying. And every single feather on a Pheasant can be used for all types of flies.

When you visit Jack Gartside's website, be sure to look at the patterns in his flies gallery. He used ringneck pheasant feathers on many of his highly effective fishing patterns.
