The feathers on a golden pheasant skin have long been prized by traditional atlantic salmon and steelhead tyers for their vibrant colors and soft, flowing tips. You can also use most of the feathers below the crest and tippet for larger soft hackles, buggers, and small streamers. Please note, these skins do not include tail feathers.
Purchasing a whole bird skin is well worth the extra money, and you get a lot more bang for your buck. Most of our whole skins are Hungarian Partridge, Starling, or Pheasant and we do our best to keep the shop well stocked with them. Hungarian Partridge skins are one of the best kept secrets in fly tying, and their feathers can be used for a wide variety of tying applications.
