Hareline Golden Pheasant Tippets

Hareline Golden Pheasant Tippets are neck feathers from the golden pheasant, recognised for their distinctive natural markings. They are valued for salmon and steelhead flies and are also used for tails in trout flies. The contrasting pattern creates a clear decorative accent from a complete feather or a selected section.

Construction and use

These feathers have a slim, orderly shape that makes it easy to select a section for a particular fly component. In classic patterns, they are used primarily for tails, while selected pieces can also form decorative details in a wing or another part of the fly. Use the feather whole or trim it to the required length. Gentle thread wraps help preserve the edge and the clarity of the markings.
