Flashback Black Quill Nymph

The Flashback Black Quill Nymph is a modern adaptation of the traditional Black Quill nymph pattern, designed to mimic the nymphal stage of Leptophlebia spp. with added flash to enhance visibility in low-light or murky water conditions. The reflective flashback wing case adds an attention-grabbing element that triggers trout to strike, especially in pressured or heavily fished waters. This pattern is ideal for use during pre-hatch activity when trout feed aggressively on drifting nymphs. Its lifelike profile and subtle shimmer make it a must-have for rivers and still waters alike.

Dynamic Indicator Nymphing: Pair it beneath a dry fly or indicator in shallow riffles. The reflective wing case can attract attention, even in choppy water.
