Traditional PT

[lastchance]

Does anyone fish the traditional Sawyer pheasant tail?
Also, I googled for directions on how to tie the traditional PT, but couldn't find any. Does anyone have those directions?
Thanks,
Bruce

Norman found some good ones so I won't repeat that, but I will tell you that yes I fish it, it's super easy to tie, super durable, and catches fish just as well as any other version I've tried.

Thanks, guys. What I wanted, and you've provided, is visual instructions. I should have been more clear. I thought one time I had a step by step photographic instruction link, but I can find it. I can't do better than a video, though.

Bruce,

It's a fly I fish a lot.

I like that it only uses two materials, is easy and quick to tie, and catches lots of fish.

This may be what you are looking for.

If you add a another step by taking the material over the top again as a wing case, and tie off the fibers facing down and back, they will form the legs of the nymph.
