A high-performance upgrade to a timeless classic, the BH Pheasant Tail – Superflash blends natural mayfly imitation with just the right amount of flash to trigger aggressive takes. The traditional pheasant tail body keeps things realistic, while the superflash thorax/back adds a subtle shimmer that stands out in faster water and changing light conditions. The bead head ensures it gets down quickly and stays in the strike zone.
A go-to across Eastern Sierra staples like the Upper Owens River, Lower Owens River, and Hot Creek, this pattern excels when trout are feeding on mayfly nymphs but need a little extra visual trigger—especially in off-color water or pressured conditions.
Best Uses:
Euro / tight-line nymphing as a lead or dropper
Indicator rigs in riffles, seams, and deeper runs
Variable light and slightly stained water
Target: Trout feeding on mayfly nymphs with added attraction in Eastern Sierra rivers
