PHEASANT TAIL FAST WATER NYMPH

Description

Pheasant Tail Fast Water Nymph – a heavy, high-performance mayfly imitation

The Pheasant Tail Fast Water Nymph is a powerful variation of the classic Pheasant Tail pattern, purpose-built for strong currents and deep runs. Weighted heavily to punch through turbulent water, this nymph sinks fast and stays in the feeding zone longer. Its natural profile imitates a wide range of mayfly nymphs, making it a reliable pattern when trout are holding deep and feeding hard. Perfect for big water and technical situations, it’s a must-have in any nymphing box.

Design / Features

The Pheasant Tail Fast Water Nymph features natural pheasant tail fibers, a durable ribbed body, and extra weight to get down quickly. Tied on a strong hook with a compact, streamlined build, this fly maintains a realistic silhouette while minimizing drag. The design allows for an efficient drift, letting anglers cover productive water confidently even in heavy current.

When & Where to Use

The Pheasant Tail Fast Water Nymph excels in freestone rivers, tailwaters, and pocket water with stronger flows. These fishing flies are particularly effective during spring and early summer when water levels are higher and trout feed deep. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, tight-line, or indicator rigs, this fly is built to perform when lighter patterns can’t reach the zone.
