The Flashback PTN Barbless
The flashbacked pheasant tail is one of the most effective mayfly nymph imitations around. We recommend never hitting the river without a few of these in your box.
This juiced-up version features a Coq de Leon tail and a Microflash dubbing collar, adding a few extra competition-inspired touches to an already deadly pattern. It’s tied on a barbless hook for fast penetration, secure hook-ups and quick, easy release.

This pattern has been a game-changer in my nymph fishing. The Coq de Leon tail moves naturally and the Microflash collar adds a great flash when the fly hits the water. I’ve caught several trout with it in clear streams.
Abigail Paterson –
The barbless hook makes it easy to set the hook and release fish without damage. I use it regularly in both early morning and late afternoon when the water is calm.
Matt Davies –
It performs well in most conditions, though it doesn’t work as well in very fast currents. Still, it’s one of my go-to nymphs for trout in spring and summer.
