Cove’s Pheasant Tail Nymph
Nymph
Tied By Joe Glessner
Hook: Any Scud, Size #10-26 (Eupheng #10 scud as tied)
Thread: 8/0 Semperfli CWT, Black
Body Parts: abdomen, rib, wing case, thorax
Materials: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 6-8 fibers, Small Copper Wire (Brassie size as tied), Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 8-10 fibers, Hare’s Ear Dubbing, Dark
Notes:
It is important to have an even number of pheasant tail fibers for the wing case as the tips are swept back to either side of the head.
The tips of the WINGCASE are tied in over the eye and should extend just slightly longer than the distance from the point of the hook to the eye.
