Winged wet flies have always intimidated me, and now that I can do it (most of the time), I never thought I cou...

Pheasant wings
Last night my neighbor brought over a pair of pheasant wings wondering if I could use them. I thanked him for them and they are attractive and even have some very beautiful small hackled feathers. My question is, I have never heard or seen anyone use pheasant wings. Is there a good reason for that? ...
