Reeves PHT nymph

[REIDY10_0]

I have not posted any of my flies before so be kind.
Last pheasant season i got a reeves pheasant, it was such a beutiful bird i had to skin it.
I had no idea what i would tie using its feathers so i thought i would start with some basic PHT gold head nymphs.
This is what i knocked up.
I like the results, the bodies have ood banding of black, white and brown, i think i will knock up some more

Body and tail (Reeves pheasant tail)
Size 14 grubber hook.
Grey squirel tail thorax mixed with hares ear.
2.8mm tungsten bead.
