SOFT HACKLE PHEASANT TAIL B.H.
$1.89
Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail B.H. features a segmented body, bead head, and soft hackle collar. A lifelike trout nymph for imitating Baetis and PMD mayflies.
Description
The Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Bead Head (B.H.) is a versatile nymph pattern that combines the proven effectiveness of the Pheasant Tail with the lifelike motion of soft hackle fibers. Designed to imitate mayfly nymphs—particularly Baetis and Pale Morning Duns—this fly is effective year-round in both rivers and stillwaters.
The slim, segmented pheasant tail body provides a natural mayfly profile, while the bead head adds weight to get the fly into the strike zone quickly. The soft hackle collar pulses in the current, simulating the legs or emerging wings of an insect struggling to rise. This subtle movement often triggers strikes from selective trout that might otherwise ignore more static patterns.
The Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail B.H. excels in riffles, seams, and pool tails where trout feed on drifting nymphs and emergers. It can be dead-drifted under an indicator, fished as part of a Euro-nymph rig, or even swung across current like a traditional soft hackle. Its combination of realism, weight, and motion makes it one of the most dependable nymphs in modern fly fishing.
