bassbuster 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2011 Either a very small hook or a very large white pheasant. Don't recall seeing any white feathers or any that large on my pheasants. rodgerole The hook is a size 4 aberdeen so its not a small hook but the hackle may not ne pheasant. I perchased a medium sized chunk of hackle feathers and it wasn't labeled as to the speciese it came from. I have seen peasant hackle and all of them resemble my piece. I can't say for sure that it is pheasant but its my guess but really any hackle would do. I can get a pic of it later if you could help me identify it that would be great.
