Tying a “CDC” Flashback “Pheasant Tail” Fishing Fly

SemperFli continues to create new synthetic materials that have applications to all sorts of flies…small and large, trout and salt, so on and so on. So, we set out to create an all synthetic “CDC” Flashback “Pheasant Tail.” The original version is one of our top selling flies. Maybe a fully synthetic PT isn’t for you, but we hope this shows how different new materials can be used.
