Description

A great pheasant tail bead head variant that features a muted color scheme and a black tungsten bead with an epoxy coating of the wing casing! We often find ourself coloring the classic gold beads with a black sharpie on the water to tone it down a bit and this fly takes care of that issue and then adds in a few more buggy features that fish simply can not resist. If you are tired of fishing the classics give this one a try and we assure you.. you won't be disappointed. Hook Sizes 14 and 18 available.

Field Notes

Use this bead-head pheasant tail fly when trout are feeding on nymphs and other subsurface insects. The black tungsten bead helps it get down quickly, making it a good choice in deeper runs, riffles, and pocket water. Fish it dead-drift under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps it sink quickly
  • Muted color can look more natural in clear water
  • Classic pheasant tail profile with added buggy appeal

Cons

  • Small fly sizes can be harder to see and tie on
  • Best suited to subsurface presentations rather than topwater fishing
