Hareline Dyed Ringneck Pheasant Tail Clump

When it comes to nymphs and wet flies, Pheasant Tail fibers are a universal standard, and Hareline's Dyed Ringneck Pheasant Tail Clump gives you these classic feathers in a nice range of dyed colors. Pheasant Tail Feathers are versatile and give a buggy appearance whether you're tying the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph or just creating a nymph of your own. Great for tying tails, bodies, and legs, these feathers are easy to work with and will help produce effective patterns to catch anything from picky trout to aggressive panfish.

Uses

Pheasant Tail Feathers can be used for a wide range of applications, but their most common uses are tails, legs, and wingcases on nymphs as well as wound bodies on emergers, soft hackle, and nymphs. Both of these applications give a really natural and buggy appearance, and whenever winding bodies with these fibers, you get a really nice segmented appearance that's great for nymphs, emergers, wet flies, and even some dry flies.

Comparisons

Pheasant Tail Fibers don't have a ton of comparable alternatives, and while these dyed colors could be substituted with Hareline's standard Ringneck Pheasant Tail Feathers, you won't get the clean dyed colors of the Dyed Ringneck Pheasant Tail Clump. Another somewhat similar feather is a turkey tail feather, which has beautiful markings, but they tend to be a bit webbier and don't produce the same appearance when used for tails, legs, and wrapped bodies.

Example Flies

The single most popular fly tied using Pheasant Tail Fibers is the Pheasant Tail Nymph, which has been catching fish since 1958.
