If You Could Only Have One Nymph...
There's a reason the Pheasant Tail Nymph is arguably the most famous fly pattern on Earth. It works. It works everywhere. Our Tungsten Pheasant Tail Nymph takes that legendary effectiveness and puts it on steroids.
The Ultimate Generalist
This fly's magic lies in its universal appeal. It doesn't imitate one specific insect perfectly, but rather suggests almost every kind of small mayfly nymph (like Baetis/Blue Winged Olive). The natural, mottled tone of the pheasant tail fibers, the buggy profile of the peacock herl thorax, and the subtle flash of the copper rib create a combination that trout have been falling for since the dawn of fly fishing.
We've upgraded this classic by adding a fast-sinking tungsten bead head. This allows you to get the fly down into the strike zone much faster, making it ideal for deeper runs, faster currents, and modern nymphing techniques. It's the perfect anchor fly in a multi-fly rig or a deadly single nymph fished under an indicator or on a tight line.
Whether you're prospecting new water or facing picky, educated trout, the Tungsten Pheasant Tail is the confidence pattern you can trust to get the job done.
