Following the previous blog on my Pheasant Tail Dubbing Blend, this is the fly in which the dubbing blend was originally designed for. Nothing new in design, as it is a pretty standard nymph pattern, but it's the "Pheasant Tail" variation I tie and reach for when times call for a pheasant tail nymph.
