Hi Everyone, What's the best way to clean pheasant feathers or feathers in general? I just purchased a lot from a farm.
On the spey note.... I just purchased my first spey rod. I played with one earlier this fall and loved it. The key advantages of the spey rod are LONG casts (80+ feet no problem) and no back-cast space required. Because of the long rod you can pick up the whole line, thus avoiding stripping. You spend more time fishing. It definitely takes time to master the set-up, D-loop and anchor, however once you get the timing it's effortless. Their are a bunch of casts you can do as well based on wind and which side of the river you're on. Less fatiguing than a single hander. I think a lot of people associate spey rods for anadromous fish and 9/10 weight and 15" rods. That's changing. My rod is a 6/7 and 13". It's only 2 oz. more than my single hand 7 weight. Very light and lively.
