Hareline Lady Amherst Tippets

Hareline Lady Amherst Tippets are loose neck feathers from the Lady Amherst pheasant, with a clear natural pattern. They suit tails, wing sections, cheeks and decorative accents in salmon flies and other patterns that require a precise detail. Tie them in singly, in small bundles or as selected sections. The slim feather shape makes it easy to create orderly elements within the fly’s profile.

Construction and use

The markings provide a contrasting accent, while the usable width allows the detail to be matched to the size of the fly. In a tail, the material forms a compact element; in a wing or cheek, it creates a distinct part of the silhouette. When selecting a feather, consider the direction of the markings, the shape of the stem and the width of the section available for tying. Gentle handling helps preserve the natural alignment of the fibres.
