The Pheasant Tail nymph has remained one of the most consistent and effective nymphs throughout fly fishing history. The original Pheasant Tail is a no-frills recipe because it works. Inspired by a timeless design, Ken Morrish brought a breath of fresh air to the pattern we all know and love. Multiple fishy colors are tied on the jig hooks that offer opportunities for fishing it under a dry, an indicator, or as a Euro nymph.
Pro Tip: Tying on Morrish Pleasant Tail with a loop knot comes in handy for soft and technical water situations.
