Tying a bi-colored Pheasant Tail Nymph 

This nymph is a slightly more complicated fly to make because it has more elements and because it requires a little more skill. But it's very fun to do. If you do it in small sizes, it is very effective for any type of fish (trout, grayling, even whitefish)
Tying tips: use quality materials, don't over-load with too much material. Use good and thin threads. To avoid a bulky body, use tungsten instead of lead. When forming the head, use wax, it will ensure an excellent adhesion of the thread and resistance over time.
-Hook: Straight nymph hook 1,5x or 2x long in sizes l#14-20
