Size
The Pale Morning Dun (PMD) Dry Fly is one of the most critical and widespread mayfly patterns in Western fly fishing, though essential globally. These hatches are consistent throughout the summer and can last for hours, bringing nearly every trout in the river to the surface. This classic pattern is designed to perfectly imitate the newly emerged dun (adult stage) sitting upright on the water. Its pale yellow/olive coloration and realistic profile make it a reliable "match-the-hatch" pattern that consistently fools selective trout during intense PMD hatches.

Product Features
  • Classic Mayfly Imitation: The traditional design with an upright wing and pale body provides a realistic profile of the common PMD duns.
  • Widespread Effectiveness: A foundational pattern essential wherever PMD hatches occur across North America, particularly effective in Rockies and West Coast rivers.
  • Reliable Float: Tied with quality hackle and materials to ensure a consistent, high float and realistic drift in various water types.
  • Optimal Coloration: The pale yellow and olive hues match the exact natural coloration of the Ephemerella species this fly is designed to imitate.
  • Durable Construction: Expertly tied to remain effective even after multiple fish during long hatch periods.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in the essential sizes #14, #16, and #18, covering the key range for matching the primary PMD hatches.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.

SAFETY WARNING: This product contains small parts and sharp hooks. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Use with caution.

When to Use the Pale Morning Dun (PMD) Dry Fly
The PMD dry fly excels during specific, important hatches where trout are keying in on these pale-colored mayflies.
  • Mid-Day Hatches: PMD hatches are famous for occurring mid-morning through early afternoon, providing consistent dry fly action during the brightest parts of the day.
  • Summer Staple: An absolute must-have during peak summer months when these hatches are most prevalent.
  • Clear Water & Technical Streams: Its realistic, subtle presentation is perfect for clear rivers and streams where fish are easily spooked by bulky or unrealistic patterns.
  • Match-the-Hatch Specifics: Use this pattern specifically when you observe pale yellow or cream-colored mayflies on the water or flying nearby.
