Tying Video Pheasant Tail Jigs with Alexander Keus
'Euro Nymphing' has become a very popular term amongs fly fishers all across the globe during the last couple of years. At the same time as these different tight line nymphing techniques (e.g. Czech Nymphing, French Nymphing, Spanish Nymphing etc.) evolved, new flies and new interpretations of classic nymph patterns arose too. Due to new tying materials like jig hooks and tungsten beads it is finally possible to present small flies in fast current to Trout and Grayling feeding close to the bottom. A big advantage on many rivers!
In this tying video Alexander Keus (author of 'Nymphenfischen - Geheimnisse entlarvt') is talking about these modern nymph patterns and shows to variations of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph: The 'UV2 Pheasant Tail Jig' and the 'Glo Brite Pheasant Tail Jig'. Both nymphs use little material and can be tied in many different color combinations. They have catched fish all over Europe and the US and are a must-have in any fly box.
