About this fly
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.
Tied for: Trout (general)
