Fly Tying a Copper John Pheasant tail nymph with Barry Ord Clarke

This slender little pheasant tail with a copper wire abdomen is a combination of two classics. A great pattern for a generic nymph, that is easy to tie, in even the smallest sizes. A must for all fly boxes. Visit my site thefeatherbend...

Very practical pattern and great for beginners!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Jon.

[@electrontube]

These are great for beginners! (I'm a beginner)
I used up my last two (store purchased) Copper Johns on the water today.
I looked into my cigar box full of materials and... I have exactly what I need to make some.

[@edmiller4149]

Very nice, Barry. PT is great material.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Ed, it sure is!

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

Tying with copper is my favorite. I use old Mustad hooks I have had around for 30 years. This is a great fly any water anytime.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Very cool! Thanks James.

Masterful tying, pure joy to watch and looks like it will catch those elusive browns in the lower Tongariro River. Thanks from down-under.
