Ice Pheasant Tail Jig

This is my version of a pattern I learned form Johan Klingberg at the International Fly Tying Symposium back in November 2009 on Czech Nymphs.

Johan Video is has great DVD and is the best primmer on the history of Eastern European Nymphing.

I highly recommend his DVD:

This is a great anchor fly.
