"Pheasant Neck" Dry Flies?

[C LeBo 0]

Aftera fairly long hiatus, I am trying to get back into tying and fishing "traditional" dries. But I am now armed with a new material, Pheasant Neck feathers! I used the white, fluffy feathers from the neck of the Ringneck Pheasant as a winging material.

 

 

Enjoy!

 

Thank You and Tight Lines,

Those look good. I have several pheasant skins. I now know what to do with them little feathers. Thanks for tip / idea.

I have used golden pheasant necks before but now you really got me thinking about all of the other feathers i never had a use for.

Glad you guys like em. Just a tip though, don't try to tie in the feathers individually. Group two or three together and tie them as you would kip tail and just fork it. I just need to get out and see how it holds to a few fish...

Nice flies. They're essentially fan-wings, but a bit less refined, which is good. I like the pattern.

Great tie.When I tie my dries I clip the bottom flush with the barb of the hook.The fly lays lower in the film and doesn't tip over...

i use those small colored shoulder and neck feathers to tie some neat looking tent wing caddis and the work well on some french fan wing flies also
