American Pheasant Tail Nymph

The Pheasant Tail is one of the most widely varied patterns in existence and for a good reason! Be sure to carry a wide selection of these variations as they really work well. Add a beadhead to get things a little deeper or tie in some flash to use a flashback in murkier water. Adding soft hackle can be a great way to stick out from the crowd and catch a lot of fish. Think outside the box with these variations as there are simply endless possibilities.
