Me to! me to! Address please... Finished and ready for posting :yahoo: ... Not perfect, but not too bad ;)

 

Have tied a bead-head pheasant tail nymph:

 

Bead: black 3/32

Hook: Black Magic size 16

Body and Tail, pheasant feather

Thorax, dark olive possum dubbing

 

3 or 4 wraps of some lead wire has been added to the shank (near the head) for a little bit of weight.

Yetavon opted out and was kind enough to give me his place. Gaddy was patient enough to let me back in! No more musical chairs Gaddy, I promise ;)

 

I think I will be tying this, I guess you can call it a purple hot-spot PT.

I got a bunch of cool new dubbing so I might mess around and end up with something else. :)
