The really soft-marabou feathers are super in many of my streamers. The hen on the other hand has many useful feathers with really fine markings...the can is open.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-90124940976742770582018-11-02T06:27:06.924-04:002018-11-02T06:27:06.924-04:00Anonymous

Very versatile bird indeed! ...You guys are right! Very versatile bird indeed! Conversely, cock ring-necked pheasant looks really good but there just isn't a lot of useful stuff there! As soft-hackle nuts, we seem to thrive on the more subdued and finely mottled hen pheasant rather than the flashy cock bird plumage! I hope I haven't opened up a can of worms?<br />DougsdenDougsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800383538251413175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-68763636502358704032018-11-01T08:17:04.344-04:002018-11-01T08:17:04.344-04:00from: Doug Korn - I totally agree Alan.... you can...from: Doug Korn - I totally agree Alan.... you can tie everything from drys to streamers with pheasant feathers...

There may be hen chicken somewhere that is marked like that, but I've not seen it.

The skin I have I selected in person and found one, actually there were several that had an abundance of small feathers.<br />My last purchase of a partridge skin was not so good. Not enough of large feathers.<br />Do you know of an alternative to partridge?Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-20355925425638242132018-10-31T07:55:34.892-04:002018-10-31T07:55:34.892-04:00I agree about the hen pheasant, Alan.
