Description
Pheasant Tail Tungsten – Deep-Diving Classic Mayfly Nymph
The Pheasant Tail Tungsten is a powerful evolution of the timeless Pheasant Tail Nymph, designed to reach feeding trout in deep or fast-moving water quickly. By combining the natural profile of pheasant tail fibers with the weight of a dense tungsten bead, this pattern maintains the subtlety of the original while dramatically increasing sink rate and versatility. It’s a staple in any serious angler’s lineup—effective on rivers, streams, and stillwaters alike.
Design / Features
Crafted with natural pheasant tail fibers for realistic segmentation, fine copper ribbing for durability, and a tungsten bead for weight, these fly fishing flies drift naturally through the water column. The bead adds a gentle flash that mimics the glint of an emerging mayfly, making it both natural and attention-grabbing. Its slim silhouette and balanced proportions allow for lifelike motion even in strong currents.
When and Where to Use
The Pheasant Tail Tungsten excels year-round as a go-to nymph pattern. It’s especially deadly during Baetis or PMD hatches when trout feed near the bottom. Perfect for Euro-nymphing, under an indicator, or in tandem rigs, this fly’s fast descent ensures it stays in the strike zone longer, maximizing hookup potential.
