Pheasant Tail Black - Beadhead | 3 Pack

A proven, quick-sinking mayfly nymph with extra contrast. The Bead Head Pheasant Tail (Black) keeps the slim, natural PT profile and copper rib but swaps in a dark body that shows up in mixed light and light stain—perfect for riffles, runs, and pocket water.

• When it excels: Spring and fall mayfly activity; overcast days; clear to lightly stained water; riffles and knee-deep runs
• Why it works: Bead adds quick depth and balance; black body provides a strong silhouette while the sparse tail and rib read “natural”
• Pack size: 3 flies
• Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
• Ready to fish: Durable wraps and consistent proportions for repeatable, bottom-tracking drifts

How to fish it

Dead-drift under an indicator at ~1.5× water depth or tightline/Euro with steady contact; add a small split shot 8–12" above if you aren’t ticking bottom. Run it as the point fly and trail a tiny midge or PT 12–18" behind. Finish each drift with a gentle lift to suggest an ascending nymph.

Care

Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing to prevent hook corrosion.
