I've watched a bunch of your videos over a few years, but somehow missed the 4wt Chronicles with these pheasant feather patterns. After all the amazing and sometimes rather complex flies you've shown us, I was really surprised with this series. I didn't know you had it in ya :). I think it's great that you showed folks how they can purchase a simple pheasant skin and make some amazingly effective flies with it in very short order. Then showing us how to fish them was truly the "bonus round". Thanks, Gunnar. You're one of the finest and most innovative fly tiers...and best instructors I've had the pleasure to watch here on UA-cam. Love your enthusiasm .
Love the warblers in the background! MAGNOLIA, BLACK AND WHITE, NASHVILLE, KENTUCKY WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, WILSON'S lol..awesome fly too!
Very nice pattern! Easy tying, very effective and killer action in the water! I caught pike, bass, perch, sunfish and white perch with it! Many thanks for the video. I will always need a pheasant cape in my staple from now on.
Gunnar I just tied one of these up and headed to the dock with my 4 wt and a 4x leader jigging day it because there was to much wind. My hope was to pickup a largemouth or a rock bass but ended up hooking a from my best guess a 20 lb carp. I knew they hung out by the docks but never suspected I would actually hook one. Unfortunately Mr. Carp won the battle. It was 25 minutes of total excitement once I realized what was kicking my butt. It broke off when a passerby tried to net it otherwise there would be pictures. Thanks
You kind of got a little addicted to those pheasant feathered flies, which was go for me because I have had a whole pheasant skin laying around and not sure what exactly to do with it. Thank you for sharing.
Gunnar, Tied up your series of pheasant flies and they have been tearing up the local stream. Looking forward to bass fishing in Lake of the Woods now travel restrictions lifted next week. These are my go to flies for the season. Pike and walleye eat them up.
Awesome! My most used rod is a 4wt. What's your leader configuration and size tippet for tossing those pheasant "bugs"? Isn't it amazing how those cock feather colors match the water color types, and the birds are delicious! The carcass makes the best broth or stock you've ever tasted! So glad you made friends with the pheasant ;o) Thanks Gunnar!

What a dope pattern! I have a pheasant cape sitting under borax right now and this is going to be the first fly I tie with it.
Just dried my first pheasant skin and this gave me a great pattern to try the feathers out on! Great fly and super informative, thanks!
Very creative, nice tie, thanks for sharing.
Another great pattern to throw, going to tie these for sure.Another nice piece of engineering, well done.

Wow great craw Gunnar
Gunnar,
Tied up your series of pheasant flies and they have been tearing up the local stream. Looking forward to bass fishing in Lake of the Woods now travel restrictions lifted next week. These are my go to flies for the season. Pike and walleye eat them up.
Simple and beautifull. Love the bird sounds ☺
Nice job! Love your hat and sweatshirt by the way!
Nice pattern there dude. Thanks for another one. Keep keeping safe.
Another good tie buddy. Keep the good stuff coming.
Beautiful pattern as always! Might tie a few and try them on monday!
instablaster.
Mr Brammer.. Your getting dangerously close to my crayfish pattern that slays for every person I pass one too... Down side.. They all want more lol..
Fishy little fly. Love the pheasant bugs you do. I'm going to half to order some from you. Everything I've got is to short.
I know some carp that would hoover one of these right up! Cool series Gunnar!
Another winner, 👊👊!
Muy buena !!
Are you fishing these on a sinking line or floating line with long leader?
Do you have an updated link to your store for materials? The link above says page not found. Thanks.
Doesn’t get much simpler , one bird lots of flies :-)
Gunner what bobbin is that with the super long steel tube?
Dude I know this is late but I thought I was one of the only people named Gunnar this just makes me feel weird seeing someone else with the name
