Description

The Lady Amherst Pheasant species is found on high mountain slopes living in the heavey bamboo and thorny thickets. Males are vocal, and are frequently heard amidst the heavy fog as they remind other males that this is their territory. The display is elaborate, cape fanned, cheek patch enlarged, and tail spread to one side, the male dances back and forth around a visiting hen. Breeding season begins in early April and hens nest on the ground.

The Lady Amherst pheasant possesses a similar form as the golden with crests, tippets, etc. Tail feathers can be used in married and mixed wing salmon flies. The tippets are used for wings on such flies as the Lady Amherst and the Lang Syne that uses green dyed tippets. Besides wings, the tippets can be used for body veilings, tails and hackles on grub patterns.

Sale is for one single pack of 10 loose tippet feathers, like pictured.
