- Description
If you could only have one nymph in your box for the rest of your life, the Pheasant Tail would be it. Created by legendary riverkeeper Frank Sawyer, this pattern has likely caught more trout than any other fly in history. Its magic lies in its simplicity and its power of suggestion—it looks like everything and nothing all at once, perfectly imitating the small mayfly nymphs that are a staple of a trout's diet.
Our Tungsten Pheasant Tail takes this timeless classic and gives it a modern, high-performance upgrade. By adding a heavy tungsten bead, we've solved the one problem that plagued the original: getting it down into the feeding zone in fast water.
The body is crafted from rich, natural pheasant tail fibers, counter-wrapped with a fine copper wire for a segmented look and incredible durability. A buggy, iridescent thorax completes the profile, creating a fly that is not just a pattern, but a piece of angling history, ready for today's technical challenges.
Pro-Tip: The Pheasant Tail is the ultimate "dropper" fly. In a two-fly rig, trail it 12-18 inches behind a larger, more visible fly (like a Stimulator dry fly or a heavy stonefly nymph). This "dry-dropper" or "tandem nymph" rig covers two levels of the water column and is incredibly effective.
Choose from our 3, 6, or 12-fly packs to ensure your fly box is always stocked with this essential pattern. Built to last through many fishing trips, buying in bulk offers the best value for the serious angler.
