PMD EMERGER FLASHBACK JIG TUNGSTEN

Description

PMD Emerger Flashback Jig Tungsten – Tactical Bead Fly for PMD Hatches

The PMD Emerger Flashback Jig Tungsten is a modern take on a classic hatch-matching pattern, designed to imitate Pale Morning Dun nymphs as they ascend through the water column. The flashback wing case adds a subtle gleam that mimics the reflective shimmer of emerging mayflies, while the tungsten bead ensures rapid sink rate and steady drift near feeding trout. Built on a jig hook, it rides the hook point up for fewer snags and a lifelike presentation in technical waters.

Design / Features

This fishing fly features an olive-yellow body ribbed with fine wire for durability, a tungsten bead for weight, and a pearlescent flashback that reflects light like a natural nymph casing. The jig hook provides balance, keeping the fly upright through current seams. The subtle dubbing around the thorax adds texture and motion, while the flash gives it just enough visibility to stand out without appearing unnatural.

When and Where to Use

The PMD Emerger Flashback Jig Tungsten excels from late spring through early fall during Pale Morning Dun hatches. It’s a proven choice in Western tailwaters and freestone streams where trout feed deep before the hatch breaks the surface. Fish it tight-lined on a Euro rig, or as a dropper beneath a dry fly during active emergence.
