A tactical twist on the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph, this size 18 pattern combines a tungsten bead with a subtle flash of copper Krystal Flash in the tail. The tungsten helps the fly sink quickly, while the copper adds a touch of attraction without overpowering its natural appearance.
Tied on a quality Ahrex hook, it is a useful small nymph for targeting trout and grayling on rivers. Fish it as part of a Euro nymphing setup or beneath an indicator when you need to get a small fly down to the fish.
