This week, Kyle’s at the bench tying up a fresh take on the classic Pheasant Tail—meet the Tuck Back Pheasant Tail. Kyle discovered this pattern on BCFlyGuys and immediately became a fan, and it’s easy to see why. This fly is a game-changer, with its bead cleverly tucked under the wing casing and those standout legs making this one buggy mutha tucka!
