CDC Pheasant Tail

Clone

A refined variation of the Pheasant Tail Nymph that replaces the wing case with a CDC feather puff for enhanced movement and a more natural profile in the drift. The CDC fibers trap micro air bubbles that mimic the silvery sheen of a mayfly nymph preparing to emerge, making it lethal during BWO and PMD hatches.
