Pheasant Tail (Bead Head) – FINATICS

The Pheasant Tail (Bead Head) is one of the most trusted and effective nymph patterns ever created—designed to imitate a wide range of mayfly nymphs with a natural, fish-catching profile. Tied on a barbed hook and offered in sizes 12, 14, 16, and 18. Built with natural pheasant tail fibers, this pattern delivers a slim, realistic silhouette that trout key in on immediately. The bead head adds weight for a faster sink rate, helping the fly reach the strike zone quickly and maintain a natural drift in moving water. This is a go-to pattern for fishing deeper runs, faster currents, and any situation where getting down to the fish matters.
