Is the golden pheasant still to be presented? It is probably the most used pheasants for tying salmon flies whether they are Victorian or modern. Crests for toppings and tails, tippets for wings, cheeks, tail veilings, underwings and occasionally for hackles on grub patterns are some of the uses.

The red breast and yellow rump feathers are used for throats, underwings, veilings and tails. The artistic tier will find an infinite playground by for example using for other uses the blue wing coverts and green nape feathers. Tails are used heavily in classic salmon fly patterns in married wings and mixed wings.

Trout and grayling tiers can use single tail fibers for bodies on mayflies and nymphs. Crafters have a huge assortment of feathers of which to make beautiful things.

Intensive breeding created to meet ever-increasing demand has had only one result and it is catastrophic: inbreeding and inter-species crosses, finding a pure golden pheasant is now extremely difficult.

Notice the pure red. Brilliant and no yellow bar. The wings are blue with a touch of brown, the crest is long, and the throat is light in color.

This is a perfect example of what is becoming increasingly difficult to find: a pure bird.

Like all our skins, this one was realized by a master taxidermist with the same care as for our more prestigious birds.

If you are looking for a low price without worrying about quality, then a Chinese skin will suit you, it costs 25 euros! If you are more detail-conscious and recognize the true luxury and beauty of a product, this skin is for you!
