Another nymph selection with a difference from Stan, the Unbreakable Pheasant Tail Nymphs.
What's so unique about these nymphs then - Well, these nymphs come with what no other fly in the UK does - a guarantee! That's right, these flies are unbreakable - so if you break one within the first year of buying it, it will be replaced by Stan FREE of charge.
Please Note: To be clear, this is a guarantee against the fly itself failing - the hook, the tying, the build - not a "lost it in a tree, send us a new one" arrangement. Break it, and it's covered. Lose it down a snag or to a specimen fish that snaps you off, and that one's still on you, I'm afraid - same as it ever was.
These flies are tied to perfection (as is usual with any of Stan's flies) - and he's been experimenting again!
These Unbreakable Pheasant Tails are all tied on Maruto Size 16 heavy-wire barbless hooks, with a 2.4 mm premium glass bead, carefully selected dubbing and fine, ultra-strong copper ribbing.
Each fly is tied for maximum consistency, durability and a clean natural profile. Supplied with its 1-Year Unbreakable Guarantee certificate.

Each nymph is tied with a specialist pheasant tail body.
Our selection of Stan's Unbreakable Pheasant Tail Nymphs are all tied on Maruto size 16 barbless hooks.
A great fly to try all through the year. This style of nymph is found in all of our rivers (and Stillwaters), with Trout & Grayling gorging on them as they become dislodged. Trundle one of these along the riverbed and hang on!
This nymph imitation is ideally used as a dropper fly in any nymphing setup (and great for sight nymphing in slower flows). Don't forget about using these on stillwaters also - a figure-of-eight retrieve on a floating line keeps them moving naturally. These imitations are all tied on size 16 barbless Hends BL454 hooks.
