The Pheasant Tail Flashback is one of the most timeless and effective mayfly nymph imitations ever tied, enhanced with a touch of modern flash for added attraction. These fly fishing flies perfectly mimic a wide range of natural nymphs—especially Baetis and Pale Morning Duns—and remain a top producer across rivers, lakes, and spring creeks. The flashback wing case gives it just enough shimmer to suggest the air bubble of an emerging insect, triggering strikes from even the most cautious trout.
Constructed with natural pheasant tail fibers, fine wire ribbing, and a flashback wing case, this fly blends traditional realism with a subtle modern edge. The natural fibers create a lifelike profile and movement in the water, while the flashback adds visibility and attraction. The slim body allows for smooth, drag-free drifts that perfectly match the behavior of emerging mayfly nymphs.
The Pheasant Tail Flashback performs exceptionally well in clear water and under bright conditions, where subtlety is crucial. Fish it as a dropper below a dry fly, under an indicator, or as part of a two-fly rig. From tailwaters to freestones, this versatile pattern consistently catches trout year-round.
