Pheasant Tail Nymph – Standard & Bead Head

The Pheasant Tail Nymph is one of the most trusted and productive trout flies ever created. Designed to imitate a wide variety of mayfly nymphs, this timeless pattern is effective in nearly every trout stream, river, lake, and tailwater across the country.

Its slim natural profile and lifelike appearance make it an essential fly for matching subsurface mayfly activity, while the Bead Head version adds extra weight for faster sinking and deeper presentations.

Whether fished alone, under an indicator, or as part of a tandem nymph rig, the Pheasant Tail continues to produce fish in virtually all trout conditions.
