Double Pheasant Tail Nymph hook #12
A clever twist on a timeless trout-catcher
The Pheasant Tail Nymph has earned its place in fly boxes around the world for one reason — it just keeps catching fish. This Double Pheasant Tail Nymph takes the classic pattern a step further by adding a slim, extended abdomen that perfectly mimics the natural taper and movement of a mayfly nymph.
The result?
A more realistic silhouette, extra lifelike wiggle in the tail section, and a profile that selective trout find very hard to refuse.
Why It Works
Extends the natural mayfly shape for heightened realism
Extra segmentation & movement triggers more confident takes
Flash-back thorax adds subtle attraction without spooking fish
Fish it on rivers, streams, and stillwaters with equal success
Best Fished
🟤 As part of a nymphing rig
🟤 On the drift through riffles, seams, and pocket water
🟤 Dead-drift with a slight lift to imitate emergence
When to Tie On
Perfect for Baetis/Mayfly hatches, especially when trout are ignoring bulkier patterns and locking onto slim natural profiles.
