Wapsi Golden Pheasant Crest Only

Wapsi Golden Pheasant Crest Only consists of loose crest feathers from the golden pheasant. Their slim, decorative shape and naturally tapering outline create a defined wing topper. The material is intended primarily for classic salmon flies, where it gives the wing a clean outline and traditional profile.

Construction and use

Use a crest feather as the topper, the final upper element of a salmon-fly wing. Its tapering shape makes it easy to position along the fly’s centre line, while the natural curve helps maintain a smooth line from head to tail. The feathers also suit other decorative wing finishers. Select a piece with an even edge, suitable length and curvature proportionate to the pattern being tied.
