Tying for the Ark

Dave an I had a tying session tonight for the Arkansas River. We tied up some foam-winged caddis, peacock caddis, and some mercury bead flashback pheasant tails. It was a good night of tying and Emma baked some Salmon. It was tasty.

Mercury Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph
Pat Dorsey designed this variation of the already highly effective and popular pheasant tail. With its glass beadhead, it gives fish a slightly different look they go crazy for. Works great on hard-fished waters where trout have seen it all.
