This pattern i created to look like an emerging mayfly. I just call it a Pheasant Tail Emerger because for this fly i decided to use the original pheasant tail nymph as the nymph emerging. No it is not all crooked it is suppost to be the way it is. if you look at it when the hackle is level with the water and the tail faces straight down like a nymph struggling to escape its shuck!

Sweet fly Wray!! Try putting some gray zelon or antron as the shuck. The fish can’t resist them!!!
yeah i though of it. I have antron as the thorax dubbing. I liked the idea of having the pheasant. because the general nymph used for a BWO is a pheasant tail.
Looks like it works really well on picky fish. The silhouette is dead on. I need to tie some. Should work really well on the insanely picky fish of the Davidson River down here.
