The Pheasant Tail or just PT is an absolute classic among trout flies. This nymph imitates a broad spectrum of mayfly larvae that are actually found in all trout rivers, which is why this pattern is so deadly and popular with fly fishermen worldwide. This fly pattern has its name pheasant tail nymph because it is mainly tied from the fibers of a tail feather of the common pheasant.

Andy Pfirstinger's version of the Pheasant Tail nymph sticks very closely to the proven original with a thorax of peacock grass, but his PT nymphs are tied on a sharp, strong and slightly set, wide gap hook from Daiichi with an upturned eye. This hook has best hooking properties, especially in the smaller sizes, and does not bend easily. In addition, his nymphs are meticulously tied in all matters such as proportions and accuracy and they are finished with a whip finish what makes them extremely durable.

The AP's Beadhead Pheasant Tail is weighted with lead in the thorax, ribbed with gold wire in the abdomen and tied with a brass bead. You need such a weighted nymph when you need to get a bit deep depending on the current and the fish's holding position and wherever the additional attachment of weight such as a split shot or a second nymph on the leader is not permitted. The beaded PT is also ideal for sight fishing, because the bead head creates not only a little weight but also additional irritant effects.

In order to adapt to the current situation on the water the AP Beadhead PT is likewise available in two finishes 'Classic' and 'Flashback'. Ultra-clear water suggests to use the inconspicuous Classic version. But when the water is merky or a bit of color, Andy is rather using the flashback version. Because the pearl-colored mylar on the back of the flashback variant sends out seductive light reflections, this can be a decisive factor experienced nymph fishermen know about.

A.P.'s Beadhead Pheasant Tail available in 2 finishes: Classic, Flashback and 5 sizes: #10, #12, #14, #16, #18
