Troutline Tactical PT Classic Orange Spot BL is our effective variant of Pheasant Tail tied with gold tungsten bead, body made of pheasant tail barbs, of course we use barbless hook and the hot spot is made of orange thread.
You will find a lot of similar nymphs tied like ours but we are very careful when we tie this fly because silhouette and how behaves the fly in water is very important.
- -the body is tied very slim to let the fly sink fast,
- -we ribb with metallic tinsel in the opposite direction of barbs ribbing direction , in this way the body will be secured and will resist more
- -we use only leon barbs for tailing because are elastic and translucent
- -we use only a few barbs ( a trout will spit right away a fly with long and dense tail)

-can be used from end of Spring until late in Winter
-is a great all around nymph and every fishermen should have it in size #14, 16 and 18
