Another easy tie for a great little pattern. The pheasant tail shuttlecock is very buggy and a perfect pattern for still waters. Best fished static with a few twitches every now and then.

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.
