Fly Tying Video - Walt Young Ties a Phesant Tail

 

For this weeks fly tying video we have the final installment of our wing shooting/fly tying segments with guest tyer Walt Young. This time Walt twists up a fantastic variation of the Pheasant Tail Nymph. The main differences between the modern PT Nymph and the one Walt ties, are the omission of copper wire ribbing on the abdomen, and the substitution of dubbing instead of peacock herl on the thorax. When tied in different sizes, this pattern makes for an economical and naturalistic representation of many Mayfly Nymphs. This is the kind of "Guide Style" flies I love the most. You can bang out a couple of dozen of these bad boys in an hour while you drink your morning coffee.
