A new and deadly take on what was already one of the most effective fly patterns in the angler's arsenal, the Tungsten Beadhead CDC Pheasant Tail (also known as "The Oprah") takes nymphing to a whole new level! Tied with a tungsten bead that is 2x heavier than lead, this fly gets down deep, and does it in a hurry! The CDC feather collar collects air bubbles, causing this pattern to pulsate and "swim", adding layers of life like motion.
Pro Tip: For extra action and realism brush some Frogs Fanny or Hign N Dry Powder Floatant into the CDC hackle! This will coat the hackle in bubbles causing it to kick and flip down the river just like the legs of an insect in drift.
This fly is perfect for use in either a Euro-Style/Czech Nymphing or Standard Nymphing rig.
