Pheasant tail nymph

The Pheasant Tail Nymph is one of the most timeless and productive trout flies ever tied. Designed to imitate a wide range of mayfly nymphs, it features natural fibers, a slim profile, and lifelike movement that fools even the most selective fish. Its versatility makes it effective in virtually every river, creek, and season.

Whether you’re tight-lining, fishing under an indicator, or running a classic tandem nymph rig, the Pheasant Tail consistently gets eats. From small freestone streams to larger Western rivers like the Roaring Fork and Colorado, this fly remains a must-have for every angler’s box.
