We're thrilled to have Mr. Brian Hilbert back in the studio, showcasing another one of his exceptional PMD mayfly patterns! This one's a true game-changer, boasting some fantastic features that elevate it to must-have status in any angler's fly box. Introducing Hilbert's PMD Day Saver Emerger – a versatile pattern that can be tied in various sizes and even adapted for BWO variations by simply switching up the thread colors. Don't let its intricate appearance fool you; while it may seem daunting, this fly is surprisingly straightforward to tie, especially if you start with a larger hook size to get the hang of it before attempting the smaller 18s or 20s. Get ready to reel in those trophy catches with this killer pattern!
