Thank You for that tuto, very well explained ))) Especially in relation to the length of the legs and for dubbing the abdomen I just mounted one, (tungsten nymph style), and I really enjoyed myself! That's it already, hihihihi))) Thank's for your sharing
Nicely done. However, I am not sure why this CZcamsr refers to the pattern as "the classic American pheasant tail nymph." This pattern was invented in England by Frank Sawyer, an Englishman who was a riverkeeper on one of England's most storied trout streams as a Google search of his name will quickly reveal.
@@smittysflybox Actually, I think I misspoke as well in a way. There actually is an American version of the PT nymph and that is the one you tied. The variation in the American version involves the use of tying thread and the peacock herl thorax, as you demonstrated. So you are correct in calling it an American pattern. The original Frank Sawyer version used only pheasant tail fiber for the whole fly, and used very fine copper wire in place of thread. Somewhat more difficult to tie using wire in place of thread but it can be done. Trick is to get your hands on ultra-fine wire. Not sure where Sawyer got his as he lived well before we had specialized tying products like Ultrawire. I got a lifetime supply years ago by taking apart a dead electric razor.
Great taste in music and tying methods...

Thanks for the clarification, we misspoke in the video.
