Tail: Ringed Neck Pheasant Tail.
Weight: Lead .20 wrapped at thorax.

How To Tie.
1. Tie in tail and weight thorax with lead.
2. Tie in copper wire and wrap to form slender body.
3. Tie in holographic tinsel and peacock herl.
4. Tie in hackle. Cut hackle from top and bottom
5. Finish head pushing hackle back.

Fantastic Fly for any fast water freestone river from The Thredbo to New Zealand. Great for Nymph fishing with an indicator. The hackle gives the fly heaps of life and the presence of motion.

Another successful drift!!!

Tight Lines and happy hunting!!
