Cascade Mirror Flash Mylar

Cascade Mirror Flash Mylar

Cascade Mirror Flash is a type of fly-tying material manufactured by Cascade Crest Tools that is known for its high reflectivity and durability. It comes in several varieties, including a flat version and a textured "krinkle" version, designed to give fly patterns a lifelike shimmer. This material is a common ingredient in many popular fly patterns, particularly Atlantic salmon and saltwater flies. 
Types of Cascade Mirror Flash
Krinkle Mirror Flash
This version of the material has a slight crimp or crinkle in the strands. 
  • Best for: Simulating the appearance of falling scales and adding flash to larger flies and streamers.
  • Key features: Highly metallic and reflective, designed to create a lot of shimmer in the water.
  • Product detail: A hank of Krinkle Mirror Flash is typically 8 inches long and contains around 800 strands.
  • Example fly uses: Adding sparkle to salmon flies like the Cascade pattern. 
Crystal Mirror Flash
Crystal Mirror Flash is a twisted flash material that reflects a significant amount of light due to its unique construction. 
  • Best for: Creating intense flashes and vibrating movement in the water, making it effective for attracting aggressive fish.
  • Key features: Highly versatile, suitable for both modern and traditional patterns.
  • Product detail: An 8-inch hank, containing about 800 strands.
  • Example fly uses: Used for wings and tails on streamers and other baitfish imitations. 
Mirror Flash
This is a flat, un-twisted version of the material. 
  • Best for: Adding a subtle, consistent flash and durable ribbing to smaller flies and nymphs.
  • Key features: Cut to a fine 1/100 of an inch, making it less bulky than other flash options.
  • Product detail: A hank contains around 800 strands.
  • Example fly uses: Small nymphs, emergers, and as a ribbing material to protect other body materials.
