Icy Pheasant Tail

No comments yet

Sometimes a fly needs to be "pimped out". The Icy Pheasant Tail is no exception. This mayfly nymph is tied on an AFF W502 (sproat-bend, standard-shank hook). Again, Allen Fly Fishing continues to create excellent hooks at an excellent price. Check them out at www.allenflyfishing.com

This particular fly follows the same tying principles of a traditional pheasant tail nymph but with some much deserved prism/ ice dubbing. Fish this fly in a tandem nymph rigging step up w/ indicator. Use it as the lead or trailing fly and you'll be sure to have success. Believe it or not, fish like pimped flies just as much as humans.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
