PMD QUILL BODY TUNGSTEN

Description

PMD Quill Body Tungsten – a fast-sinking, ultra-realistic mayfly nymph

The PMD Quill Body Tungsten is a beautifully tied nymph designed to imitate Pale Morning Dun nymphs with exceptional realism. Its quill-wrapped body creates a crisp, segmented profile that closely resembles the natural insect, while the tungsten bead ensures a fast and controlled sink rate. These fly fishing flies are especially effective when trout are holding deep in feeding lanes during active PMD hatches, making it a staple in technical nymphing setups.

Design / Features

The PMD Quill Body Tungsten features a slim, hand-wrapped quill abdomen for natural segmentation, paired with a gold tungsten bead for quick depth penetration. The soft hackle collar provides subtle movement, while the clean silhouette and natural tones make this fly stand out in clear water. Its inverted profile on a barbless jig hook reduces snags and keeps the fly in the strike zone longer, even in strong currents.

When & Where to Use

The PMD Quill Body Tungsten performs best from late spring through early fall, particularly in rivers and tailwaters with strong PMD hatches. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, tight-line, or indicator rigs, it excels in deeper seams, riffles, and pockets where trout feed steadily on drifting mayfly nymphs.
