Built on the classic pheasant tail profile, this version adds a copper tungsten bead to get the fly down quickly, along with a subtle red collar that gives a small hotspot without overpowering the natural look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s a go-to pattern when trout and grayling are feeding close to the bottom, particularly in colder water, faster flows, or early-season conditions. The slim body and natural fibres suggest a wide range of aquatic nymphs, while the extra weight helps keep the fly in the taking zone for longer. Whether you’re working a deep run or picking apart pocket water, it’s a reliable nymph that earns its place in any fly box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePheasant Tail Red Neck Copper Tungsten Bead Nymph Specification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout \/ Sea Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Cock Grizzle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Pheasant Tail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRib - Copper Wire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThorax - Hares Ear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Copper Coloured Tungsten Bead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish the Pheasant Tail Red Neck Copper Tungsten Bead Nymp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eh\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpstream Nymphing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFish the fly upstream or slightly up-and-across and allow it time to sink before it reaches the main flow.

In faster currents and shallow riffles, fish the fly at close range with a long leader and minimal fly line beyond the rod tip. Allow the tungsten bead to carry the nymph quickly down to the riverbed, keeping direct contact throughout the drift. Guide the fly through the run by leading it slightly downstream with a raised rod tip, ensuring it stays in the strike zone while maintaining maximum sensitivity for quick, subtle takes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo-Fly “Klink and Dink” \/ New Zealand Style\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tungsten nymph works very well as the weighted dropper beneath a buoyant dry fly in a classic Klink and Dink or New Zealand style setup. Tie a visible dry to the point and suspend the Pheasant Tail Red Neck below it to cover both the surface and subsurface at the same time. The dry acts as both an indicator and an imitation, while the tungsten bead keeps the nymph fishing effectively in the subsurface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Match The Hatch","offers":[{"title":"Size 14","offer_id":56436206403908,"sku":"TN11214","price":1.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 16","offer_id":56436206436676,"sku":"TN11216","price":1.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/5131\/7572\/files\/PheasantTailRedNeckCopperTungstenBeadNymph.jpg?v=1774289410","url":"https:\/\/matchthehatch.co.uk\/products\/pheasant-tail-red-neck-copper-tungsten-bead","provider":"Match The Hatch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
