Sparkle Back Pheasant Tail

Sparkle Back Pheasant Tail – Bead Head

The Sparkle Back Pheasant Tail is a bead head variation of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph, adding a reflective wing case for extra visibility and attraction. Built on the proven slim profile of the original Pheasant Tail, this pattern effectively imitates mayfly nymphs and other small aquatic insects trout feed on throughout the season.

The sparkle back adds just enough flash to help draw attention in deeper runs, faster currents, or slightly off-color water, while the bead head helps the fly sink quickly into the feeding zone.
