    austyn,

    Golden pheasant tail sections. Makes great wingcases and bodies. Can be used as you would ringneck pheasant with a different effect.

    Golden Pheasant it is. Try it wrapped around the shank on a pheasant tail nymph and for other mayfly patterns. It also works great for legs/beards folded under the fly.
