Glad you enjoyed it

Pheasant is such a valuable material to the fly tier, and the flies that can be tied are endless. Spey flies, nymphs, and streamers just scratch the surface. Great topic!!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks

[@frankmonroe8320]

Great video... Informative. Thanks

[@TheFlymanJim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

I have some ringneck pheasant skins. I am learning to tie with these feathers. My first try was with a Tenkara style fly because it was only thread and feather. Thank you for the video, it is very educational.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Good luck!

[@iangeise2076]

Also an effective all around wooly bugger variation I discovered is a black and gold one where the marabou and hackle are black and the chenille is gold. I combined a black wooly bugger with a gold kreelex crayfish to come up with that one.

[@TheFlymanJim]

great thanks for the tip.

[@tommyleebaker1]

Hi Jim, love the videos. You are a horse when it comes to the variety of fly patterns that you put videos on. I think what Jack Gartside is referring to when he talks about chicken poop feathers are chicken vent feathers. Hence, the poop reference as they are generally dirtied with chicken poop. Vent feathers are very similar to chickabou but not quite the same.

[@TheFlymanJim]

You are right but Jack called all the throw away feathers Poop LOL

[@FlyTyer1948]

Seeing your description of pheasant feathers, especially the aftershaft feathers, made me think of Jack Gartside’s Sparrow, a wonderful fly. I went back through your videos that I favorited & didn’t find one on the Sparrow. Perhaps I missed it, but if you haven’t done one, could you do one on the Sparrow or refer us to where we could find it. It is super effective.

[@iangeise2076]

He made one on they sparrow and there are helpful tips on tying it that other videos don’t have.

[@TheFlymanJim]

I'll put that on my list

[@Tammyandherepack]

Thank you, get some wild pheasant from a hunter. Still drying but with this a can go further with all of it

[@TheFlymanJim]

Good Luck

[@ColinD0131]

Jim I know you said you were friends with Jack gartstite. I probably spelled his name wrong but I posted a link to his site. His knowledge was incredible. Rip Jack

[@TheFlymanJim]

I watched him tie flies for more than 20 years, and yes he was incredible!

[@anablakp3200]

Do you use male or hen ringneck pheasant for fly tying? The pheasant rump at the start, is it male or hen patch?

[@TheFlymanJim]

It is most likely male, since I bought it I don't know for sure . But you can use both if you hunt them. The male are more useful specifically when it come to the tails. The ones in this video are dyed.

[@mikewalters4994]

Will there be a lot of useable feathers on a Ring Neck Pheasant Cape. I found a whole pelt of wings, tail and whole bird for $9.00

[@TheFlymanJim]

There will be the same as in this video. AS long as your imagination works I'm sure you'll find plenty of uses. Merry Christmas

[@navidave95]

What does the neck feathers on a Golden Pheasant look like?

[@TheFlymanJim]

. Most are ring neck pheasant, but if you google you'll a picture.

[@bocceboy]

Who are your sponsors and Where do you get your materials from? Thanks

[@TheFlymanJim]

My sponsors are FrostyFly.com LivelyLegz.com HookHack.com StreamsideLeaders.com BearskinOutfitters.net I have aquired materials from 30 plus years of tying. ANy of these sponsors can help you get the materials you need.

[@breckenmcginnis7060]

Can you please use blujay feather for a pike fly if possible

[@TheFlymanJim]

I only have a few wing feathers from a bluejay. A hawk killed it in my yard. But I don't see how I can use them to make a Pike fly. I would use the strung saddle hackle to tie a fly like that. Check my video " Beginners Designing a Bass Fly" It will be in my playlist "Bass and Panfish". That will teach you how to tie one for Pike.

[@kennethsanders963]

Gunner Bremmer will show you excellent ways to use Pheasant Tail feather .Check him out.
