The Classic Pheasant Tail Nymph
The undisputed champion of the nymph box.
If you were forced to fish only one subsurface pattern for the rest of your life, the Pheasant Tail Nymph (PTN) would be it. Originally designed by Frank Sawyer to imitate the slim profile of swimming mayfly nymphs, this legendary pattern has been fooling trout on every continent for decades.
Whether you are targeting early-season Baetis, imitating aggressive March Browns, or matching the summer PMD hatches, the natural mottled brown of the pheasant tail feather is an exact match for the most common trout food sources.
