There are over 600 mayfly nymph species, of which most are brown, and very similar in appearance to the Pheasant Tail Nymph.
Originally tied by Frank Sawyer, this pattern has been tweaked over the years, and continues to catch amazing numbers of fish. Keep a good selection of this trout fly.
The Beadhead Flashback Pheasant Tail is best fished as an emerger and matches the Hatch of the following Mayflies:
Been buying from Discount Flies for years…I’ve reached the point where I can justify buying theirs vs tying myself and have more time for the streams…they always fulfill orders promptly and with top notch quality flies. Thanks Team DF
Note From Store Owner: Thank you! We very much appreciate being part of your time on the water.

When in doubt tie on a bead head flashback pheasant tail as the lead fly in a 3- fly rig. One of my top 3 attractor flies yearround. As always, the quality of construction in the flies from DiscountFlies.com beats the quality at most fly shops where you pay 2 - 3 times more.

these BHPT's are my go to dropper flys. I fish CO and WY and get great results with these. From the conejos, to the gunnison, to the S. and N. platte to the popo agie, these bugs produce- period.

On many occasions, in the pursuit of trout using nymphs, this pattern beats them all
