Pheasant

Fly tying pheasant is another one of those must have materials. It's found so widely and on so many patterns and in so many different ways, that it is kind of hard to find a substitute. Use for nymph bodies, dry bodies, tail fibers, wing cases, hopper legs, caddis under wing, caddis antennae, and mayfly tails. Knotted Pheasant Hopper Legs, Golden Pheasant Tippets, Dyed Golden Pheasant Crest, Ringneck Neck Patch, Ringneck Pheasant Tail Feathers, Golden Pheasant Complete Head, and Ringneck Pheasant Rump Patch are unique items worth having in your kit.
