The Dry Pheasant Tail Variant is one of the required fly patterns for the IFFF Bronze Level Fly Tying Skills Awards Program.
The fly is designed to imitate a blue-winged olive spinner, so I've tied this version of the fly with silver badger hackle. You can also use variant, golden badger or brown hackle to tie the pattern.
