Tungsten cdc flashback pheasant tail

Description

Heritage and Design Excellence The Tungsten CDC Flashback Pheasant Tail represents an innovative evolution of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph, incorporating modern materials and techniques. This specialized pattern features a tungsten bead for rapid sink rates, CDC for lifelike movement, and a flashback wing case that creates additional attraction. The pattern’s unique design allows for both deep presentation and natural movement in the water column. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain the exact specifications that make this pattern so effective across varied fishing conditions.
