Welcome Troutah

 

Yep they will definitely work. In Southern Australia I have tied some 'average' looking pheasant tails that have been very successful

 

Cheers

Bob Popovic's Hollow Fleye is one of the greatest fly patterns EVER. Here is a synthetic version I tied using Deer Creek Gliss n Glint. The hook is a 2/0 Partridge Attitude Extra for size reference.

These are double articulated streamers I tied that equal about 3.5" total length. They weight next to nothing and have a ton of movement in the water. Perfect for a 5 or 6wt fly rod. I am very happy with the way this pattern came out.
