Although cock pheasant tail fibers have that special something, like peacock, the hen fibers are nicely marked and worth using.

Your usual nice tie Scott. When I first started tying my son got me a Rene' Harrop video, which featured instructions using turkey tail fibers. I seems to me that about 50% of nymphs are some variation of a PT nymph.

Scott, excellent work. They may even catch fish. ;)

Even I could catch with those.
