I got this beautiful whole pheasant pelt from a subscriber named Justin a while back. I wanted to use some of the other beautiful feathers on this bird than I usually use. So I looked up flies that utilize different sections of pheasant. I found this amazing pattern that uses nothing but pheasant feathers from Gunner Brammer. It is a crayfish which means I can use it in my local waters, and should have good success with it as well. I just had to give it a try. I liked the pattern so much I decided to bring you all along with me while tying it. Of course I cannot compare to Gunner himself, the originator of this fly. So for more detailed instructions, you should check out his video on this fly. Here is that link - https://youtu.be/_oSB1OkQmEw?si=wBp9n_t8kG2FNICy
