from the Turrall Bead Head Nymph Trout Fly Collection.

The Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead Trout Fly is a classic nymph pattern, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating a wide range of aquatic insects. Originally designed by Frank Sawyer, a river keeper on the River Avon, this fly has become a staple in fly boxes worldwide. Its key features include a beadhead for added weight, allowing it to sink quickly and reach feeding trout. The olive body, crafted from pheasant tail fibres, mimics the natural colouration of mayfly nymphs, making it irresistible to fish.
This fly's design ensures a lifelike presentation, enhancing its appeal in clear waters. Its versatility and proven track record make it a must-have for any angler targeting trout in both rivers and stillwaters..

Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead is a versatile nymph fly effective for trout fishing. To maximise its effectiveness, use a dead-drift presentation by casting upstream and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. This mimics the natural movement of aquatic insects. Employ a strike indicator to detect subtle takes.
For retrieves, use a slow hand-twist or short, sharp strips to imitate an emerging insect. Fish it in riffles, runs, and pools where trout are likely to feed. Adjust the depth by adding split shot or using a longer leader to ensure the fly reaches the strike zone.

Key Seasons - when is this

Bead Head Nymph Trout Fly

most effective?
The Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead is most effective during the spring and autumn months when olive nymphs are prevalent. In spring, as temperatures rise, trout become more active, feeding on emerging insects. This fly mimics the natural olive nymphs that hatch during this period, making it an excellent choice. Autumn also sees a resurgence of olive hatches, providing another prime opportunity.
Use this fly in clear, fast-flowing waters where trout are likely to be feeding near the bottom. Overcast days with a slight breeze can enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to be actively feeding.

How does the Turrall Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Pheasant Tail Olive Beadhead fly is a masterful imitation of the Baetis nymph, a crucial stage in the lifecycle of the Blue-Winged Olive mayfly. This fly mimics the nymph's slender, olive-brown body and segmented tail, which are key features that attract trout. During the nymph stage, these insects are highly active, drifting in the water column as they prepare to emerge. Fish target these nymphs because they are abundant and provide a rich source of protein. The beadhead adds weight, allowing the fly to sink quickly, mimicking the natural drift of the nymphs, making it irresistible to feeding trout.
