PHEASANT TAIL CDC FLASHBACK B.H.

Description

Pheasant Tail CDC Flashback B.H. – Classic Mayfly Nymph with Modern Flair

The Pheasant Tail CDC Flashback B.H. blends tradition and innovation, combining the proven effectiveness of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph with the subtle movement of CDC fibers and a reflective flashback wing case. This enhanced version imitates emerging mayfly nymphs—particularly Baetis and Pale Morning Duns—with lifelike realism and a touch of attractor flash. The bead head adds weight, ensuring quick sink rates and ideal drift control in moving water.

Design / Features

Tied with natural pheasant tail fibers for segmentation and color accuracy, these fly fishing flies feature a CDC collar that mimics the natural movement of emerging legs or gills. The flashback wing case adds a subtle glint, mimicking the trapped air bubbles that occur during emergence. Finished with a bead head for depth and balance, the fly’s natural tones and lifelike materials appeal to even the most selective trout.

When and Where to Use

The Pheasant Tail CDC Flashback B.H. is effective year-round, especially during mayfly hatches on tailwaters, freestones, and spring creeks. Fish it as a dropper beneath a dry fly, in tandem rigs, or under an indicator for effective presentations in deep water. Its realistic profile and modern enhancements make it an essential pattern for trout anglers everywhere.
