Flashback Pheasant Tail Softhackle (sorta) SBS

Saw this somewhere; tied it, tried it, embraced it. Simple and fast, the ostrich hackle is easy to work with especially for smaller flies (you could easily take this down to a #20). Bead head or weight is optional but I like to fish this as an emerger.
