By the way, that's my favorite fly as it always produces and has in many differing trout waters. The least favorite part of me tying this fly is dealing with getting a decent looking tail. Thanks! My second favorite is the omnipotent wooly worm (heavily weighted with tons of hackling, in black, green or yellow. You rarely see these on the end of angler's tippets but they are very productive during the winter. Awesome tip on the PT nymph…

I like the way it looks, it seems more durable, and it has a translucency that pheasant tail fibers don't have. Tyler, I use the Pheasant Tail Nymph framework, but use Z-lon instead.

Is it zion fibers? Those pheasant tails look awesome! I was looking at your bh pheasant tails and was wondering what you use for the tail. Is it zion fibers? Those pheasant tails look awesome!
