Red PT Jig - Fly Tying Tutorial - Pheasant Tail Variation | THE BEST NYMPH FOR A HOPPER DROPPER?

In this fly tying tutorial, Xavier ties a Pheasant Tail Variation. The Red PT Jig is an amazing jig variation of the pheasant tail that is perfect under a hopper but also does well on a euro or indicator rig. The pheasant tail is an all time classic nymph that dates back over 100 years and is arguably the most versatile nymph ever created. Although it has changed through the years, the simplicity of this tie has made it stand the test of time. Give this fly a go regardless of what method your using to chase your local trout.
