Beadhead Flash Back Pheasant Tail Fly

The Beadhead Flashback Pheasant Tail fly pattern is a popular nymph fly pattern used in fly fishing. It is a variation of the traditional Pheasant Tail nymph, which imitates a variety of aquatic insects, particularly mayflies and stoneflies.

The Beadhead Flash back Pheasant Tail adds a few key features to the traditional pattern that can make it more effective in certain fishing situations.

Firstly, it has a beadhead, which adds weight to the fly and helps it sink faster in the water.

Secondly, it has a “flashback” material, usually in the form of a thin strip of Mylar, which imitates the reflective surface of a nymph’s exoskeleton. This can make the fly more visible and attractive to fish.
