The Pheasant Tail Hackled Dry Barbless is a highly effective, general upwinged-fly imitation with a natural pheasant-tail body and supporting hackle. It can cover small olive duns and other similarly proportioned insects when trout or grayling are taking adult flies from the surface.
Present it upstream on a tapered leader and prioritise a drag-free drift. Match its size to the naturals present, using it through glides, riffle edges and established feeding lanes rather than relying on the pattern name alone. Placed accurately, it gives you every chance of seeing a trout commit at the surface.
