I think there was some talk a bit ago about what feathers you can use from a phesant for tying. I just happened to run across this article and thought I would share.
Happy Tying, Bart

Bart,
If you're really into pheasants, check Gartside's home (sales) page - he's got patterns, pattern books, and more articles.

Allan, when i was in West (Y.) in Aug. i went to every fly shop in town, and
there's quite a few in that town, like here. Bought stuff in all of them
except one. Must of went back to Blue Ribbon three or four timnes though and
bought more stuff each time. It's the best for materials for
sure....selection and price. I've been collecting pheasent skins for bout
the last four years. All different kinds. There's hardly a feather on 'em
that can't be used. It's not pheasent, but get one of these if you can find
one, Egyptian Goose. Has huge feathers on it that look exactly like Lemmon
Wooduck only bigger. Forget what i paid for it, but it's beautiful. For any
of you that don't get Jack's email newsletter, you SHOULD sign-up for it.
It's always fun. He had a great deal last month or the month before, where
you could take a tying lesson in the morning, and a guided fishing trip
(using those flies) in the afternoon, for like $150. Was looking his regular
disheveled self last weekend, but seemed to be in good health. Since we both
have cab driving in common, i'm always kidding him about looking like he
just woke up in the back of his. LMAO. mark...
