Lewis Silver Pheasant

The southern most race of the Silver Pheasant, this well marked, short tailed species inhabits the thick evergreen forests on the Laotian-Cambodian border. When startled, they tend to run uphill, only taking flight after reaching the top. Male wing-whirring is common in this species.

Tying with Lewis Siver Pheasant Feathers

This bird, as a member of the silver family has the same form. However, the color pattern is a perfect negative image of the more common True Silver.

Streamer patterns use body feathers for cheeks and older trout patterns such as the Ethel May from Mary Orvis Marbury call for tail sections used for wings.

The same uses apply for the Lewis as other silvers but with a darker look. Again, the saltwater tier can use the crests for any baitfish pattern with dark or blue backs.
