Flash Back Nymph

Fly: Lars Christian Benten, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 2457 # 6-14
Bead: Tungsten bead to match hooksize
Thread: Tan UNI 8/0
Rib: Copper flash
Shellback: 3-5 strands of copperflash
Abdomen: Light Olive dubbing (here SLF Whitlock blend)
Thorax: Dark brown dubbing
Note: A great searching nymph. If additional weight is needed, apply tungsten sheet under the dressing. I usually fish this fly up-stream and in dead drift. Does work on a down-stream swing as well though. This fly has 3 stages: heavy, heavier and heaviest ?!
