Fly Tying: Pheasant Rump Muddler

Something that I strive to do with nearly all my fly tying, is to generate Silhouette Counterparts within similar material sets. Good examples:
Jerk Jr. (high and tight) and Fuzz Jr. (bulkhead) and Slow Jig Clouser (low profile) - Single Hook Dubbing Brush Flies
Super Jerk (high and tight) and Hot Fuzz (bulkhead) and Skinny Dipper (sculpin) - Articulated Dubbing Brush Flies
Impostor (high and tight) and Chosen One (bulkhead)
Con Man (high and tight) and Articulated Geezer (bulkhead) - Zonker Flies over SF Blend
ect......
Now fish silhouettes can be as accurate/complicated as you'd like to make them, but for the most part they are easily simplified. The purpose of this fly is a simple adaptation to the Pheasant Rump Baitfish pattern allowing us to more accurately imitate low water column species such as Sculpin and Gobies, and is a perfect example of a silhouette counterpart.
To purchase these materials you can head to my website: streamersbygunnar.com/pheasan...

    This fly looks great for Smallmouth. The variegation and colors in Pheasant make it one of my favorite feathers to tie with. I'm filling a box for a friend and this pattern is definitely going in it.

    I think Pheasant rump and skins are my favorite material for tying small stream streamers. It has such a natural look under the water and it imitates lots of things swimming and crawling around. I have already run out of the marabou area of my skins so I have been cheating and using blood quills.

    The dark Blue feathers from up in the neck area are great soft hackle feather for nymph legs and soft hackle flies as there is very little taper to the fibers. Neat pattern but I like muddler patterns to have an inverted hook which is easy enough to do.

    I live near well it's an hour a 20 min drive, that has some really big brown trout, not many but I think this one on a sink tip fishing the likely spots just before and during dawn and then at the last bit of light at the end of the day will produce some decent fish. It will be like steelhead, a lot of casts for one or two fish, got plenty of lakes with lots of bass so yeah. There is a lot of flies that you can tie off of a pheasant, as Jack Gartside would say. He would really approve this one.

    Hey bud, do you have a good trick for getting your flyman tank motor to run slow like that? The adjustment plate on mine can only do so much. Thanks 🤘🏻 love the sculpin. Last time I tried pec fins I had a lot of trouble getting them equal. Your videos are full of great teachings. I'm a complete rookie. But pretty obsessed

    Really nice pattern! Question about a possible variation. How would you tie that with some weight to reverse the hook point upwards? I tend to fish dark clousers, here in Ohio, dragging the bottom to imitate crayfish and sculpin.

    I would try either extra small dumbell eyes or maybe some bead chain, it won't take much to get the hook to orient point up, tie it in like you would on a clouser
