Satyr Tragopan

Just before daylight, amid the narrow gorges covered with overarching tangles of bamboo, outjutting boulders, and forests of rhododendron and magnolias, the heartrendering wail of a male satyr wah! waah! oo-ah!oo-aaaaah! lets you know it's breeding season. Seeing him is almost impossible, still perched high in the branches, he blends in perfectly with the scarlet petals of rhododendron blossoms that fill the hills of his Himalayas mountain paradise.

Tying with Satyr Tragopan Feathers

satyr tragopan feathers This spotted red pheasant offers a wide variety of uses for artistic salmon flies
using feathers not only for sides, cheeks and wings but for cheeks on streamer and steelhead patterns. The red breast feathers without the eyes make great throats.

And here is an assortment from the female. The feathers certainly are not as striking as the males, however, the mottling on the hen feathers make them quite attractive.

Full Skin

This is a 4 year old male in full feather. The wings and tail have some damage and there are a few chipped feathers around the neck. But all in all, I would say it's in good shape.


$375

Full Skin

The eyes on this skin are perfect. White with a nice black boarder and perfectly shaped.

This is a very nice skin, the head might be missing, but most of the small red neck feathers are still there.

The only thing I don't like on this skin is that the olive feathers on the back are a bit light, but as with all birds, Satyrs do vary a bit in color.


$425

Hen Skin

This is a perfect hen skin, it is in full feather, no chipping or damaged feathers. It's a large skin for a hen.


$250

I'm looking for pictures of flies and the recipies you used to tie them. Please give me a call or email me for more information.

Thanks!

<malayan peacock pheasant> Pheasants

All pheasants are native to Asia. There are 52 different breeds of these beautiful birds, 17 of which are listed as endangered.

Habitat destruction and hunting has reduced the number of these birds in the wild. The Hainan Peacock Pheasant, thought to be a subspecies of the grey, is one of these and is one of the most endangered birds in all of China. Today it is at greater risk of extinction than even the Giant Panda.

None listed here are in such danger - but with habitat destruction and population growth, it's just a matter of time.
