Yep pheasant tail is probably my number 1 nymph. Some with beads, some without. I like 1xl and 2xl 14, 16, and 18 for beadheads and 1xl or standard length in 14-20 for no bead. I like flashbacks in off color water. Other favorites are the usual stuff, gold ribbed hares ear, prince, copper Jon in the same sizes as the PT's. Stonefly nymphs have worked well for me at times in sizes from 2 or 3xl 14- 20. I have a lot of other nymphs and variants but those probably get used more than the others.
