letumgo 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2009 Regal looking fly, Mike! I love the golden pheasant wing. I've been trying to work more golden pheasant feathers into my flies lately. Seems to be an under utilized source of materials. Beautiful fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
