CDC Pheasant Tail Nymph - Matte Black

The matte black bead on this fast-sinking nymph is perfect for imitating mayfly nymphs that are close to emerging.  Fish will key in on nymphs during this vulnerable stage, making this pattern a must have.  

The stark pop of the matte black bead might imitate a small mayfly nymph that is about ready to emerge. Fish key in on those dark spots when it comes to mayfly nymphs and this pattern will certainly fill that role nicely.
