Tying the Phlamin Pheasant nymph

Tying the Phlamin Pheasant nymph

Note–different day and time from our usual time slot.

A great nymph to use wherever small dark mayflies live–which is almost everywhere? This is best tied in small sizes, and on this short-shank size 16 hook it is tricky. Pattern recipe:

Bead Red glass, small
Thread Black 12/0
Tails Black dyed pheasant tail
Body Black dyed pheasant tail
Rib Single strand of pearl Krystal Flash
Wing case Black Thin Skin coated with epoxy
