PMD EMERGER FLASHBACK TUNGSTEN

Description

PMD Emerger Flashback Tungsten – Weighted Pale Morning Dun Pattern

The PMD Emerger Flashback Tungsten is a refined subsurface pattern designed to imitate the Pale Morning Dun in its emerging stage. Combining a realistic olive-tan body with a reflective flashback wing case, this fly captures the light and movement of an ascending mayfly just before it breaks through the surface. The tungsten bead adds weight for quick sink and precise drift control, keeping the fly in the feeding lane where trout key in during active hatches.

Design / Features

This fishing fly features a slim, segmented abdomen of olive-yellow dubbing, ribbed with fine wire for strength and natural segmentation. The flashback wing case provides a lifelike sheen that mimics the shine of a hatching PMD, while the tungsten bead ensures rapid depth penetration. The thorax is slightly darker for contrast, and the slender tail and soft fibers deliver subtle motion for a true-to-life presentation.

When and Where to Use

The PMD Emerger Flashback Tungsten performs best from late spring through early fall in tailwaters, freestones, and spring creeks with active PMD populations. It excels when trout are feeding subsurface before the hatch intensifies. Fish it dead-drifted on a Euro rig, under a dry fly, or paired with a lighter emerger to cover multiple feeding depths.
