The Hot Head Pheasant Tail nymph is a modern twist on the classic pheasant tail pattern, designed to draw extra attention with its bold, bright head. This fly features a natural pheasant tail fiber body, known for its lifelike segmentation, mimicking a wide variety of aquatic nymphs. The addition of a striking hot orange ultra violet colored tungsten bead head not only adds weight for a faster sink rate but also acts as a visual trigger for fish, imitating the subtle glow of a nymph’s thorax or egg-laying behavior. This fly is excellent for both clear and slightly stained waters, as the hot head provides extra visibility and attraction, especially to aggressive trout. Whether used in still waters or fast currents, the Hot Head Pheasant Tail is a highly versatile nymph that excels in enticing fish feeding near the bottom. A go-to pattern for any angler’s box, it performs exceptionally well during both hatch and non-hatch periods
