Size

The PMX Dry Fly Variant, a highly visible and durable attractor pattern, is a variation of the popular Stimulator and Parachute Adams flies. The name PMX is an acronym often associated with "Parachute Madam X" or "Parachute stimulator X" designs. This fly is known for its ability to imitate a wide range of large aquatic and terrestrial insects, including adult stoneflies, large caddisflies, and grasshoppers. The vibrant colors and high-floating foam post make it an excellent searching pattern in fast or choppy water. 

Product Features

  • Versatile Attractor: The combination of a high-visibility parachute post, buggy legs, and durable body materials creates an irresistible, general-purpose silhouette that consistently draws aggressive strikes.
  • Extreme Buoyancy: Built with a buoyant parachute post and durable body, the PMX floats high like a cork, making it perfect for the fastest, roughest water imaginable.
  • High Visibility: The bright post ensures excellent visibility, making it easy to track in low light or turbulent currents.
  • Durable Construction: Built tough to withstand multiple strikes from eager trout and other species.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in sizes #12, #14, and #16, covering the prime range for imitating most medium-to-large insects you'll encounter. 

When to Use the PMX Dry Fly Variant

The PMX excels in a wide range of situations, particularly when you need to cover water and find active fish or are fishing fast currents. 

  • Searching Pattern: When there is no specific hatch, the PMX is a top choice for "prospecting" for fish, as they can't seem to resist its appearance.
  • Stonefly & Caddis Hatches: This pattern is a great general imitation for larger stoneflies and caddis, particularly in Western U.S. rivers.
  • Fast Water & Pocket Water: Its robust design and high-floating properties shine in turbulent water where delicate flies struggle to stay afloat or be seen.
  • Dry-Dropper Rig: The PMX's superior buoyancy makes it an ideal top fly when fishing a weighted nymph dropper, acting as a highly visible indicator.
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.
