Lady Amherst (Center Tail Feather) by Hareline

One of the most striking feathers in all of fly tying, the Lady Amherst Center Tail comes from the Chrysolophus amherstiae, a long-tailed pheasant native to southwestern China and Myanmar. Known for its bold black-and-white barring and natural curve, this feather brings elegance, contrast, and movement to classic and modern flies alike.

Use it for cheeks, tails, wings, and accents in patterns like the Lady Amherst, Green Highlander, Sunray Shadow, or any fly that demands a dramatic touch.

Each feather is unique—ideal for steelhead, salmon, and traditional Atlantic salmon flies - one feather per package.
