Black's Flies Rubberleg Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph Flies -12

looks like a good generic nymph for trout

Good quality materials and construction appears consistent. Beats tying myself with promo pricing less than a buck each. Small rubber legged patterns are tricky to tie; well worth the price.

Really fun to fish with.

These are very well tied flies using good materials. Should hold up very well. Price is great.

This could be a 'go to' fly when fishing streams containing stoneflies. The larger sizes have been productive on Colorado streams and rivers for quality trout in several species. This fly is tied unlike any pheasant tail that you have ever seen. There is way too much material in the tail and abdomen and the thorax is also oversized. The Rubber leggs give good action and the bead head is oversized which gets you down to the fish. I like sizes 10 and 14 and often use them together. The fly gets high marks for durability and you can actually catch a few fish before it starts to disenigrate. The fish probably think that this fly is a stonefly nymph.

Bead head serves as my lead fly in a double nymph dropper rig. Works well in fast water with a smaller fly as a dropper.

This fly is tied well but the hook is weak and breaks very easily when debarbing. I have never encountered this problem when debarbing other flies.

Excellent and well made product!

Excellent product at a great price! Very well made.

Works best with a short leader-- maybe w/split shot
