I know there are many recipes for the Pheasant Tail nymph and that the original had only 2 materials. I'm just curious about what the favorite(singular) recipe that you prefer to tye and use? Mine is:
thread - olive/brown thread
tail - pheasant tail fibers
abdomen - pheasant tail fibers ribbed with copper wire(front to back and back to front)
wing case - pheasant tail fibers
thorax - peacock herl
legs - pheasant tail fiber tips
