Brammer's Mini Pheasant Craw

I got this beautiful whole pheasant pelt from a subscriber named Justin a while back. I wanted to use some of the other beautiful feathers on this bird than I usually use. So I looked up flies that utilize different sections of pheasant. I found this amazing pattern that uses nothing but pheasant feathers from Gunner Brammer. It is a crayfish which means I can use it in my local waters, and should have good success with it as well. I just had to give it a try. I liked the pattern so much I decided to bring you all along with me while tying it. Of course I cannot compare to Gunner himself, the originator of this fly. So for more detailed instructions, you should check out his video on this fly. Here is that link - https://youtu.be/_oSB1OkQmEw?si=wBp9n_t8kG2FNICy

As I mentioned in the video, I am sponsored by Risen Fly. They manufacture rods, reels, hooks, tying materials, tools for both tying and on the water, and much more at incredible prices for the super high quality they offer. I highly recommend checking them out. Best of all they are offering all my subscribers a discount. So go to www.risenfly.com and type in "McFly" at checkout for 15% off your first order with them.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
