Here we have a unique Winter pheasant tail nymph selection for you from our man in Bosnia. These Tungsten 'Joker' PTN's are specifically chosen to give you the widest possible choice, no matter which water conditions you face (big and heavy nymphs for the higher water levels, light(ish) for the lower flows).
These flies will work in any conditions and any style of fishing (rivers or stillwaters) - but they excel at any of the short-line disciplines (Euro, French, Spanish etc). This fly selection is available either with (or without) our Slimline Silicone Fly Box.
Every so often, we need a fly (or flies) we can rely on - 'playing your joker' so to speak - well here they are, the Bosnian Joker PTN Selection:
Nymphs included in this selection are:
Peacock Ice PTN
One of the most common nymphs is the Red pheasant tail nymph with peacock dubbing tied on a size 14 barbless hook with a silver 2.5mm tungsten bead. One moment! If peacock dubbing is not enough ... we've also added Veevus orange hot-spot covered with Raidzap UV glue. This one is for sure one of the first Jokers I play.
This selection contains 3 of these tied on size 14 hooks.
Black Ice PTN
What to say about Black Ice Pheasant Tail. Tied on a size 14 barbless hook, with a black tungsten bead. This is the first fly I tie on when I'm searching the water. This fly uses extra-fine dubbing, ribbed with rainbow ice ribbing, thorax covered with ice flash to irritate the pickiest of fish (especially in coloured water). The Orange hot spot is covered with Raidzap UV thin resin.
This selection contains 3 of these tied on size 14 hooks.
They even look pretty cool under a UV light
Double Tungsten Gold/Orange PTN
Ok, you get to the river and the water is high, fast and coloured, what do you do? Fish are on the bottom and you need to get your fly down quick to have any chance at all. Try a Double Tungsten PTN ... Guess what? ... it works ... Tied on a wide gape size 14 barbless jig hook with a 3mm Gold tungsten bead and a 2.5mm Orange tungsten bead for extra weight. The body is made from natural top quality Wapsy pheasant tail centre feathers.
This selection contains 3 of these tied on size 14 jig hooks.
Natural Ice PTN
Taking the standard pheasant tail nymph that one extra step ... The Natural Ice PTN. Tied with an Ice thorax on a size 14 barbless hook, using Wild Cat dubbing, a Copper tungsten bead and an orange hot-spot that is a realistic and outstanding combination. The body is tied using natural pheasant tail, ribbed with copper wire. Both the orange hot-spot and thorax cover is coated with Raidzap thin UV resin.
This selection contains 3 of these tied on size 14 hooks.
The above price includes 12 hand-tied ‘Joker’ Pheasant Tail Nymphs direct from the vice of our man in Bosnia, supplied either with (or without) a Slimline Silicone fly box.
