The flashwing adds a lot of shine and movement. I’ve seen several trout strike on it in early morning when the water is still. It’s more visible than the original pattern and works well in clear streams.

Great addition to my nymphing kit. The flash effect stands out in the water and seems to draw fish in more effectively than the standard version.

Used it in a slow-moving creek and caught a brown trout on it. The flashwing really catches the light and seems to mimic the natural shine of emerging nymphs.
