CDC Pheasant Tail Jig Copper – Barbless
A favourite fly of the Euro-nympher, the small hot spot draws plenty of attention from fish in fast moving and still water alike. The CDC forms a gorgeous nymph-like body when wet, and the 2.8 or 2.4mm copper bead helps the fly sink through the water column.
Dark colours with a sudden pop are provided by the small hot spot nestled behind the CdC collar. This pattern really glows when drifting through riffles and deep runs.

Thomas Wallace –
This fly performs well in both still and moving water. The hot spot catches fish attention quickly, especially in riffles. The copper bead sinks smoothly and looks natural when drifting.
Lucas McLean –
Great for nymphing in fast streams. The CDC body holds up well in water, and the hot spot gives a nice flash when moving through the current.
Chloe Payne –
I’ve used this pattern in deep runs and it holds its shape well. The barbless design makes it easy to cast and retrieve without snagging.
