Pale Morning Dun
The PMD pattern imitates one of the West's most important hatches — Ephemerella infrequens and E. inermis. A pale yellow body with light dun wings accurately represents these delicate mayflies that blanket tailwaters and spring creeks through summer afternoons.

Fishing tips
PMD hatches can be incredibly dense. Match size precisely and fish a dead drift in feeding lanes. Trout often switch between duns and emergers during the hatch.
