More About Fly Tying Flash

Fly tying flash adds the reflective sparkle that suggests baitfish scales and the glint of natural prey, bringing patterns to life at the vise. Often made from thin synthetic strands with metallic or holographic finishes, flash is one of the most versatile materials on the bench.

How much flash to use

  • Short lengths add subtle color and shimmer to smaller patterns like nymphs and dries.
  • Longer strands give streamers and attractor flies pronounced flash and movement that reads as a fleeing baitfish.
  • Used sparingly, flash can help trout, bass and many saltwater fish notice a fly without making the pattern look overdone.

This collection includes popular Flashabou materials from Hedron, Krystal Flash from Hareline and SemperFlash Mix from Semperfli for alternating multi-color effects, with new varieties added each season. For tips on pairing flash with buoyant bodies, see our post on why foam and flash work so well together, and our guide to foam, flash and rubber legs for bass bugs covers strand counts and placement.

How much flash is too much?

A few strands usually suffice. Six to ten strands in a streamer tail suggest movement, while too much flash can look unnatural and put fish off.
