Description
The PMD (Pale Morning Dun) Soft Hackle is a versatile wet fly pattern designed to imitate the emerger or drowned stages of the Pale Morning Dun mayfly. This pattern is particularly effective during PMD hatches when trout are feeding just below the surface film on emerging insects. Its sparse, flowing materials and soft hackle create lifelike movement in the water, mimicking the struggling motion of an emerging mayfly.
Pro Tip
fish it dead-drifted under an indicator or paired as a dropper below a dry fly, targeting trout feeding on subsurface emergers.
