CDC Pheasant Tail
- Sizes
- #16–#20
- Imitates
- baetis nymphs · PMD nymphs · emerging mayflies
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.
