PHEASANT TAIL FLASHBACK TUNGSTEN

Description

Pheasant Tail Flashback Tungsten – Classic Weighted Mayfly Nymph

The Pheasant Tail Flashback Tungsten is a modern upgrade to one of fly fishing’s most legendary patterns. By combining the natural appeal of pheasant tail fibers with a tungsten bead, this fly sinks faster and reaches the strike zone quickly—even in strong currents. The flashback wing case adds a hint of shimmer that imitates trapped air on emerging mayflies, giving this nymph the perfect mix of realism and subtle attraction.

Design / Features

These fishing flies are built from natural pheasant tail fibers for authentic segmentation and color, reinforced with fine wire ribbing for durability. A tungsten bead replaces the traditional brass, adding both weight and flash to help the fly drop quickly in deep pools and fast runs. The flashback wing case adds a reflective accent, while the slim profile ensures a natural, drag-free drift. It’s simple, elegant, and deadly effective.

When and Where to Use

The Pheasant Tail Flashback Tungsten is effective year-round, especially during Baetis, PMD, and general mayfly hatches. It excels in tailwaters, freestones, and technical rivers where trout feed near the bottom. Fish it Euro-style, under an indicator, or as part of a two-fly setup to consistently fool both wild and selective trout.
