Description

The Pheasant Tail Nymph is one of the most dependable patterns for trout fishing. Its natural profile imitates mayfly nymphs, an important food source for trout throughout the season.

This selection features traditional Bead Head Flashback Pheasant Tails in five different sizes. The bead head adds weight to help the fly reach deeper feeding lanes, while the Flashback provides a touch of reflective attraction.

Whether you're fishing deeper runs, riffles, pools or smaller streams, having a range of sizes lets you adjust your presentation to match the conditions and the size of the natural insects.

Why Fish the Bead Head Flashback Pheasant Tail?

• Proven Trout Pattern: A versatile mayfly nymph imitation that belongs in every trout fly box.

• Bead Head Weight: Helps the fly sink and reach trout feeding near the bottom.

• Flashback Detail: Adds a subtle reflective element to the traditional Pheasant Tail.

• Five Hook Sizes: Provides options for different water conditions and insect sizes.

• Versatile Presentation: Effective under an indicator or as part of a multi-fly nymph rig.

How to Fish It

Fish the Bead Head Pheasant Tail near the bottom, where trout commonly feed on drifting nymphs. It works well as a single nymph or as part of a two-fly setup.

Use the larger sizes when fishing bigger water or when trout are feeding on larger nymphs. Switch to the smaller sizes when fish become selective, particularly in clear or low-water conditions.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

The Pheasant Tail is one of my go-to searching patterns when nymph fishing. It imitates a broad range of mayfly nymphs and is a dependable choice when you aren't certain exactly what the trout are feeding on.

Don't overlook the importance of size. Having everything from a #10 through an #18 available makes it easy to change your presentation without changing patterns.
