Description
The Flashback Mercury Black Beauty, designed by Pat Dorsey in the early 1990s, is an evolution of his original Black Beauty midge pattern. This variant incorporates a clear, silver-lined glass bead and a Mylar tinsel flashback, enhancing its translucency to effectively imitate the gas bubble sheen of emerging midge pupae.
Pro Tip
Tailwater Tandem: Pair the Flashback Mercury Black Beauty with a larger attractor nymph, such as a Pheasant Tail, in a two-fly rig. This combination is particularly effective in tailwaters where trout are selective.
