"Give a man a fish, and you've fed him for a day; teach that man to fish, and you've fed him for a lifetime." -Chinese Proverb


Mission Statement The pheasant tail is a common feather, located in the tail of a bird. . . the pheasant to be exact. The tiny fibers in this tail are often used to craft artificial flies that resemble actual bugs in nature. Many warm welcomes to the home of The Pleasant Pheasant. I would very much like offer you a brief glimpse into the world of fly fishing by sharing with you my limited knowledge and experience. This is not brain surgery people, but it can be a bit daunting in the beginning. My goal for this website is to bring some perspective to fly fishing for true beginners, and possibly provide a jumping off point for some would-be enthusiasts. I am by no means an expert. I would simply like to share the familiarity and passion I do have for this endeavor in the effort of de-mysticising one of the oldest, and most profound contests of all time. . . man vs. nature.
