I agree about the pheasant tail!! Sometimes I even get enough fish or strikes for that to happen. Thanks again for a great fly!! Shoulder is doing well!!
@@bobhammond8067 😂😂 Hello Bob, you are a wag! It would be standard to tie in the tail with PT fibre tips and if others prefer that look, it’s fine. My wealth of inexperience, suggests that hackle fibres allow me to tie fewer replacement nymphs.😉 Delighted to hear that your ‘new’ shoulder is in good order.👍
@@ross1458 Hello Michael, good to hear from you. As you say, a great alternative to a PTN - I’m glad that I am offering an alternative that you haven’t tried.😉 How’s you back Michael? I hope that the op has done the trick.👍
@@chili1593 Hello again! If you have experienced broken tails, the hackle fibres will almost never break in that way. As far as the Biot is concerned, it is an alternative that can be a little more durable than PT - to be fair, an extra wrap of rib can sometimes prolong the life of PT.😉
@@johnruby4915 Hello John, great to hear from you and I hope that your season is going well. This is.a nice alternative to the PTN to have in your box, especially if there is some colour in the water.😉
