Pheasant Tail Nymph - PTN

One of the most iconics nymphs of all times - The Pheasant Tail Nymph in this video is tied by the skilled Danish flytyer and flyfisher Hanna Bossow Vestergaard. Originally conceived and tied by Frank Sawyer MBE, an English River Keeper, the Pheasant Tail Nymph is one of the oldest of modern nymphs. It is used to mimic a large variety of aquatic insect larvae that trout and grayling feed upon. It is also widely referred to as the Sawyer’s Pheasant Tail, in relation to the original creator of this fly.

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.
