Sawyer Pheasant Tail

Montage "presque" original de la célèbre Pheasant Tail de SAWYER.
Le coup de vernis final consolide grandement le sac alaire !
Fil de cuivre extrafin JMC
5 tours de plomb 0.30mm (non obligatoire, nymphe devant rester légère)
Hameçon JMC N3Y n°14
Fibres de queue de faisan
Bon montage !

Excellent reproduction of Sawyers tying methods. I love to see these old flies tied this way. I have made my nymphs that way for ever. All the best, Sean

Thank you Sean ! It's a bit hard that way at the beginning but it's very nice after a few flies to tie like Sawyer and others old styles.
All the best. Alexis

Looking good 👍

What size hook was this tied on? I tie mine on # 14 hooks. What do you use?

[@alex1126gobages]

Arkansas Red It was a 14 aswell but I tie them from 12 to 22 on french hooks or TMC 3769

Thanks Alexis, I tie the Sawyer Killer Bug using only copper wire and no thread. I like Sawyer's Pheasant Tail. I'll try some of those.

[@alex1126gobages]

Arkansas Red You're welcome. Never fished the killer bug but i'm it works as good as the pheasant tail. We use more "generic" shrimp nymphs here in France.
All the best

Sometime you'll have to get over to our Ozark mountain streams and try your luck with or wild/domestic Ozark trout. We've got some big ones.
