Description

Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Tungsten – a weighted classic with lifelike motion

The Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Tungsten is a modern twist on one of the most effective trout fishing flies of all time. By combining the natural, buggy look of the traditional Pheasant Tail with a tungsten bead, this pattern sinks quickly and stays in the feeding zone longer. Its soft hackle collar adds movement and realism, making it an excellent choice for both hatch matching and searching.

Design / Features

The Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Tungsten features a slim, segmented body tied with natural pheasant tail fibers, a soft hen hackle collar that breathes naturally in the current, and a tungsten bead for extra weight. This streamlined design allows it to reach depth fast while maintaining a natural silhouette. The subtle flash and soft hackle movement imitate emerging mayflies and other aquatic insects perfectly.

When & Where to Use

The Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Tungsten excels in freestones, tailwaters, and spring creeks. It’s especially effective during mayfly hatches in spring and fall or as a year-round searching pattern. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, tight-line presentations, or under an indicator, it’s a must-have in any trout angler’s nymph box.
