Upright Wing Trophy Dun - Pheasant Tail

Product detailed description

Upright Wing Trophy Dun - Pheasant Tail . Our favourite dry fly dun pattern tied with a little bit longer wing, positioned upright. It has a perfect silhouette, very appealing to the fish. We caught many nice grayling / trout on it. It is tied on a standard hook (K200BL) for the strongest fish. Natural CDC floats great. Pheasant tail natural body, ice pearl butt as a trigger.
