PHEASANT TAIL FLASHBACK SILVER BEAD JIG HOOK

Description

The Pheasant Tail Flashback Silver Bead Jig is a tactical variation of one of the most iconic mayfly nymph patterns in fly fishing. Tied on a barbless jig hook with a bright silver tungsten bead, this version excels in clear water or bright, sunny conditions where a bit of extra flash can trigger reaction strikes from wary trout.

The classic pheasant tail body mimics baetis, PMDs, and other slender-bodied nymphs. The flashback strip adds just the right amount of shimmer to stand out in open water columns, while the silver bead reflects ambient light, making it easier for trout to spot the fly as it drifts naturally in the current.

The jig hook design not only improves hook-up ratios but also helps keep the fly riding hook point up—reducing bottom snags and increasing control when fished tight-line or Euro style.

Whether you’re fishing technical tailwaters or freestone rivers, the Pheasant Tail Flashback Silver Bead Jig delivers both realism and attention-grabbing detail. Use it as an anchor nymph in a two-fly setup, or as a standalone offering when fish are holding deep but looking for something with a little sparkle.

A smart addition for anglers who want traditional patterns with a modern twist
