One of the best all time emerging Callibaetis patterns, excellent for lake fishing.
Many nymphs develop a shiny back before emergence, hence the effectiveness of the Flashbacks series.

Anne Robertson –
This fly mimics the natural emergence of Callibaetis nymphs very well. I’ve used it in several lake trips and caught several trout on it. The barbless design makes it easy to retrieve and doesn’t snag on rocks.
Justin Martin –
Great for lake fishing when the water is clear. The shiny back design catches the light and attracts fish. Works better in early morning and late afternoon.
David Tucker –
I’ve used this pattern for over a year now and it’s one of my go-to flies for trout in stillwater. The detail and color match the real nymphs perfectly.
