{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Pheasant wing treatment

Ha! Gene, I use those feathers for Stewart Spiders too, they are clutch. 

Dave, I have a bunch of feathers that I picked from a friend's pheasant and held onto. The best use I found for a few special feathers was as crayfish claws. When dry, they look uncanny. Only issue is that when they're wet they don't hold their shape all that well, so you would want to put nail polish on them (if there are any present in your bunch, I'm not sure where exactly I found them) or use several for each claw. I've had just as much success substituting rubber legs like on a plastic tube, however. The pattern is called the Crawdizzle, see the photo attached.
