Flash back nymph

I haven't fished this pattern but I have fished other patterns like it. This will work well for trout or other species that are eating smaller nymphs. As for colors, I like the brown, but green seems as if it would work well too. 

Hook: size 14 scud hook.

Thread. green 8/0 

Materials: Flashabou, pheasant tail, ice dubbing, and a bead head.

Tools: Vise, scissors, bobbin, whip finish tool.

Step 1: slide the bead head onto the hook. Make a base layer of thread and wrap the thread to the rear of the hook shank.

Step 2: tie in pheasant tail to form a tail.

Step 3: clip the extra pheasant tail that was used to make a tail. Wrap thread to the middle of the hook shank. Tie in a flashabou fibers.

Step 4: Wrap the thread to the rear of the fly. Spin dubbing around the thread.

Step 5: Wrap dubbing up the hook shank giving the body a natural taper.

Step 6: take a pinch of pheasant tail and tie the ends of it down to the sides of the fly so they are on the sides of the fattest part of the body.

Step 7: repeat step 6 but on the other side of the fly. After both sides have pheasant tail, pull the pinch of flashabou overtop the fly so that it makes a back.

Step 8: spin dubbing around the thread and make a small collar behind the bead head.

Step 9: Whip finish and apply head cement. to make the fly more durable, apply some head cement to the flashabou back.
