PHEASANT TAIL F/B BLACK TUNGSTEN SCUD HOOK

Description

Pheasant Tail F/B Black Tungsten Scud Hook – a classic nymph with added flash and fast sink rate

The Pheasant Tail F/B Black Tungsten Scud Hook is a modern twist on one of fly fishing’s most trusted nymph patterns. Tied on a curved scud hook for a natural silhouette, this fly combines the classic pheasant tail profile with a flashback wing case and a black tungsten bead for extra weight. It’s a go-to pattern for imitating mayfly nymphs and small aquatic insects in clear, technical water.

Design / Features

The Pheasant Tail F/B Black Tungsten Scud Hook features natural pheasant tail fibers, copper ribbing for subtle segmentation, and a flashback wing case that adds just the right amount of shine. The black tungsten bead ensures the fly sinks quickly, while the curved scud hook mimics the natural posture of drifting nymphs. This combination creates a highly effective, durable, and versatile pattern.

When & Where to Use

The Pheasant Tail F/B Black Tungsten Scud Hook excels in tailwaters, freestones, and spring creeks year-round. It’s ideal for deep runs, riffles, and slow seams where trout feed on mayfly nymphs. Fish it under an indicator, in Euro-nymphing rigs, or as a dropper beneath a dry fly for deadly presentations.
