PHEASANT TAIL FLASHBACK CDC HOT COLLAR TUNGSTEN JIG

Description

Tied on a barbless jig hook and weighted with a heavy tungsten bead, this version rides hook-point-up for fewer snags and better contact in fast water or pocket water. It excels in tight-line and Euro nymphing setups, particularly when trout are hugging the bottom or holding in deeper seams.

The hot collar—often tied in bright orange or chartreuse—provides just the right visual pop to entice even reluctant feeders, especially in cold or stained water. Meanwhile, the CDC fibers pulse subtly with the current, mimicking the movement of emerging insects.

Whether you’re working a double-nymph rig or fishing solo with pinpoint precision, the Pheasant Tail Flashback CDC Jig Hot Collar offers the perfect balance of natural silhouette, flash, and attractor elements. It’s a confidence fly for both technical tailwaters and high-gradient freestones.
