Beautiful fly. I tie some with dyed tail feathers to produce different colors. And some with the feathers hanging off the back as tails. They are all great fish catching patterns.
Re: Pheasant Tail Soft Hackle
Pheasant tail soft hackles and nymphs are probably my most fished trout fly dressings. I tie the soft hackles with and without tails but in the past few years, I seem to be favoring those with tails. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Re: Pheasant Tail Soft Hackle
Excellent looking fly. I have found that any Pheasant Tail pattern is a fly to have in your box. Pheasant Tail flies just produce fish anywhere at any time. Tails or not.
