B.H. PHEASANT TAIL FLASHBACK

As the days get colder so dose the dry fly fishing. This is the time to start trying a nymph; the B.H. Flashback is a fantastic option. Fished in the faster runs or as a dropper under a large dry fly, this fly is a fish catcher from the Thredbo to N.Z. Try tying it with a Tungsten Bead for a bit more weight especially if you need to get the fly down deeper.

Bead: Gold bead or a Tungsten.
Thread: 6/0 black.
