Fly Tying: Pheasant Rump Crawdad

This is a Freestyled Crawdad imitation. This past fall (November 2019) I was fortunate enough to attend the International Fly Tiers Symposium in NJ and had the pleasure of tying along side Jason Taylor (Instagram - "flyonby"). Besides the fact that his flies are RIDICULOUS, he showed me a pattern called the Pheasant Rump Deceiver and it has haunted me ever since.



The fly uses a host of Pheasant feathers from around the cape to compose a proper Crawfish Silhouette intended for chasing Smallmouth Bass, and other species whom love smaller freshly molted crawfish.
