Description
Simply put, pheasants are cool birds, and their feathers can create some of the slickest flies around--Hareline's Ringneck Pheasant Skin allows you to have a catalog of male pheasant feathers that lets you pick exactly the feather you need when you need it. These high-quality pheasant skins have a wide variety of feathers that can be used for anything from soft hackles to crayfish. Bold colors and rich patterns, Hareline's Ringneck Pheasant Skins should have a place on your desk, whether you're tying bass bugs, trout flies, saltwater streamers, or steelhead flies.
Uses
Considering this is an entire male pheasant skin, you have a pretty wide range of applications to work with. With such a variety of feathers, this skin lets you tie dry fly wings, create complex cheeks on traditional streamers, wrap collars on streamers and wet flies, build crayfish claws, and wrap hackles on large steelhead flies. Whether you're looking to tie up some buggy streamers for redfish or create a new nymph for your local trout waters, there's a feather on Hareline's Ringneck Pheasant Skin that lets you do it all.
Comparisons
Ringneck Pheasants are a unique bird with a variety of feathers and tying applications. For that reason, there isn't quite one bird or skin that grants the versatility that these skins have. While a Hungarian Partridge Skin offers excellent versatility for soft hackles and nymph appendages, it doesn't have the bold colors nor the large feathers of a Ringneck Pheasant Skin. And while Bronze Mallard Feathers can be used for wings in steelhead flies and used to craft large crayfish claws, they also lack the bold colors and patterns, as well as the versatility for smaller flies. So all in all, if you're looking for a comparison for a Ringneck Pheasant Skin, there isn't one that offers exactly what Hareline does with these skins.
Example Flies
A Ringneck Pheasant Skin offers a ton of tying versatility, and these feathers have almost endless uses; however, a few of the most popular flies tied with Pheasant Feathers are:
- Pheasant Hopper
- Sparrow Nymph
- The Wet Mouse

Great skin
"Great skin"
Awesome Pheasant Skin
"Great skin with many useful feathers for different flies. Even the smaller feathers on the neck of the bird were present on this skin. All feathers were in excellent condition."
lower quality than the picture
"The picture was taken of a much nicer skin than the one I received. It is useable but these are amazingly colorful birds and I have seen larger patches of the variety of colors on other skins."
Would buy again
"This is the first pheasant skin I have purchased so I don’t have a lot of experience with them, but the one I received is in great shape with great color and a large variety of feather types and sizes. I’ve been tying size 4 streamers and size 16 wet flys, and lots in between. For what seems to be such a reasonable price, there is definitely a lot to work with here!"
Good price
"Many types of feather, many types of flies and natural color combinations with very good price! I can tie dry and wet flies with this ringneck pheasants skin."
