Fly Fishing American Pheasant Tail | Orvis Nymphs

Description

The classic original Pheasant Tail pattern was designed by an English Riverkeeper named Frank Sawyer to imitate a number of nymph species. There are several American patterns that are a bit flashier with the addition of a peacock thorax and legs. This is a classic fly and has proven itself so well; no self-respecting nymph box should be without them. This fly pattern is an excellent mimic of any number of baetis and caddis nymphs. Color, Pheasant Tail.

Sizes: 12, 14, 16, 18.
