IN THIS VIDEO, Michael Yelton demonstrates tying the Soft Hackle Pheasant Tail Nymph.
The lifelike movement of the soft hackle pheasant tail nymph means it can be stripped or swung like a streamer. The pheasant tail may be the most popular of all soft hackle patterns; its medium-brown color imitates a large range of caddis and mayfly nymphs, pupae and adults.
