Hook: Wet fly, sizes 10–18.

Thread: Tan.

Tails: Tips of 3–5 cock pheasant tail fibres.

Abdomen: Wound fibres used for tails.

Rib: Fine copper wire.

Thorax: Under a ball of copper wire, with peacock herl over.

Wing cases: Dark parts of cock pheasant tail fibres.

Legs: Tips of cock pheasant tail fibres used to create wing cases.

ORANGE SPOT PHEASANT TAIL NYMPH

This is a similar tying, but has a thorax of fluorescent orange wool or fur and lacks legs. All fish seem very susceptible to orange, especially in dull light conditions, and this works in dirty water and late in the evening.

PHEASANT TAIL NYMPH (CHRIS HOSKER)

Hook: Wet fly, sizes 14–16.

Thread: Brown.

Tails: Tips of 4–6 cock pheasant tail fibres.

Abdomen: Cock pheasant tail.

Rib: Fine gold wire.

Thorax: Pink synthetic fur with some sparkle (e.g. Ice Dub).

Head: Gold head.

Chris uses this in cold water or in winter, when fish tend to be dour.

PHEASANT TAIL NYMPH (RANDALL KAUFMANN)

Hook: Wet fly or straight shank nymph hook, sizes 10–18.

Thread: Brown.

Tails: Tips of 4–6 cock pheasant tail fibres.

Abdomen: Cock pheasant tail.

Back: Pearl Flashabou.

Rib: Fine copper wire.

Thorax: Cock pheasant tail.

Wing cases: Pearl Flashabou.

Legs: Cock pheasant tail fibres.

Head: Copper wire or goldhead.

PHEASANT TAIL NYMPH (ARTHUR COVE)

Hook: Nymph, sizes 8–14.

Thread: Brown.

Abdomen: Cock pheasant tail fibres.

Rib: Oval gold tinsel.

Thorax: Rabbit fur.

Wing cases: Cock pheasant tail fibres.

Cove fished this in trout lakes, at the end of a very long leader, slowly inching the nymph back close to the bottom. As in all nymph fishing, the end of the floating fly line must be heavily greased so that it floats and that takes (a twitch, or stop or dipping under of the floating tip) can immediately be noticed and the hook set.

Some natural fly-tying materials seem to have a magical property that attracts fish. One is fur from a hare’s ear – the hare in question being the European brown hare Lepus europaeus.

HARE’S EAR NYMPH

Hook: Wet fly or nymph, sizes 6–16 (mostly 12–16).

Thread: Brown.

Tails: Sparse bunch of natural red (brown) or furnace hen hackle fibres, or few guard hairs from hare’s mask.

Abdomen: Hare’s ear.

Rib: Oval gold tinsel.

Thorax: Mix of hare’s ear and mask, including plenty of guard hairs.

Wing cases: Grey goose or brown turkey quill slip.

Legs: A few guard hairs teased from the thorax with a dubbing needle.

Randall Kaufmann suggested three modifications to the basic HARE’S EAR NYMPH in Tying Nymphs (1994):

(A) FLASHBACK HARE’S EAR NYMPH has wing cases of pearl Flashabou.
