I do that on smaller sizes, but I like to do it this way on larger sizes to make it bulky and to have the legs be made from the tips of the biots rather then just cutting them off square.
This was a size 12 nymph hook, and small sized killer caddis glass beads. Using large kcg beads could probably take you up to a size 10 or 8. After that, you might have to switch to larger glass craft beads, and maybe bulk up the body a bit a more by wrapping a yarn underbody and then wrapping the pheasant tail over that.
Nice bro i will try to do it's
Nice fly, I love the casualty list at the end....
Cool pattern. I've got tons of seed beads to put to good use. Cheers
I just use the tail fibers for the body and the wing case and legs. I only have to get 5 and that's it.

Could you tie a little bigger for steelhead? Awesome pattern
