PHEASANT TAIL HOT SPOT TUNGSTEN

Description

Pheasant Tail Hot Spot Tungsten – Tactical Mayfly Nymph for Fast Water

The Pheasant Tail Hot Spot Tungsten is a modern twist on one of fly fishing’s most reliable nymph patterns. Combining the natural appeal of traditional pheasant tail fibers with the tactical advantages of a tungsten bead and a bright trigger collar, this fly is built to get down fast and attract aggressive trout. The tungsten bead ensures quick descent through heavy current, while the vibrant hot spot creates a visual cue that draws strikes even in stained or deep water.

Design / Features

Constructed with pheasant tail fibers for a lifelike, segmented body and reinforced with fine ribbing, the fly maintains the natural look of a classic mayfly nymph. The tungsten bead delivers exceptional sink rate, while the fluorescent collar adds a pop of color that grabs attention in challenging light or fast water. Durable materials and a compact profile make this pattern perfect for Euro-nymphing or traditional indicator setups.

When and Where to Use

The Pheasant Tail Hot Spot Tungsten is effective year-round but excels in fast, cold, or deep water where getting down quickly matters most. It’s ideal for freestone rivers, mountain streams, and technical tailwaters during Baetis or PMD activity. Fish it as an anchor fly in a Euro rig, under an indicator, or as a searching nymph for opportunistic trout.
