Very elegant pattern. A closeup shows your thread wraps are perfect. Well done sir.

I like the looks of the pheasant. I have mostly stayed away from pheasant for hackle. Might have to approach the hen.

Nice fly. Hen pheasant is fun stuff to work with, very strongly marked. The only drawback I have found is the stems tend to be somewhat thick.

Beautiful tie! What is the anatomical location of the hen feather, if I may ask?
