Jig Pheasant Tail
- Sizes
- #14–#20
- Imitates
- mayfly nymphs · BWO nymphs
The jig-hook version of the Pheasant Tail Nymph rides point-up to reduce snags and fishes perfectly in a tight-line Euro nymphing setup. A slotted tungsten bead provides weight and the classic pheasant tail body does the rest. This is the competition angler's refined version of the original.
Recipe
This is one dressing. Tie it in other colors to match the hatch in front of you.
