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

Materials- abdomen: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 6-8 fibers rib: Small Copper Wire (Brassie size as tied) wing case: Cock Ringneck Pheasant Tail, 8-10 fibers thorax: 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.
