Easy Pheasant Tail
Cheech - November, 2011
The pheasant tail is arguably the most popular nymph pattern in the world. This being said, if you look in 5 different fly boxes, you will probably see 5 different variations of the bug. Why? Because they ALL work. This is basically a standard pheasant tail without a wingcase and legs... It is another really basic, two material fly, that seems to work anywhere fish eat nymphs.
