Hi Everyone!
Do you have some Flashback Pheasant Tails in your lake fly box? I have been using them with a lot of success as of late. I have been using size 14. I hang them under a strike indicator or strip them. They imitate boatmen quite well. I love to twitch them. Yep even under an indicator or as I strip them. The takes are usually solid!
I modify the Flashbacks slightly with a full body shellback although you can limit the flash to just over the thorax. Add a few to your fly box.
Oh, and ... I love fly fishing in a river with Flashbacks!
