About this fly
The Pale Morning Dun hatch is the most important summer hatch on many western spring creeks and tailwaters. This pattern nails the silhouette and color: pale yellow body, dun hackle, white wing post. Fish it in sizes #16–#20 during morning hatches when fish are keyed in tight. Tied with Superfine dubbing and TMC 100 hooks.
Reviews
Finally a PMD that sits right in the film. Matched the hatch perfectly on the Madison last July.

#20s are tiny but tied right. Good for picky fish on slow water.
