Overview

The Umpqua Jiggy PMD is a modern tactical nymph designed to imitate Pale Morning Dun nymphs with accuracy, efficiency, and performance in mind. Tied on a barbless jig hook and finished with a tungsten bead, this pattern sinks quickly and rides hook-up, making it ideal for Euro-nymphing and tightline rigs. Its slim profile and segmented body replicate the slender shape of natural PMD nymphs, while the thorax and soft hackle collar add realistic movement and a natural buggy appearance.

The coloration is tuned to match the soft golden-yellow and olive tones of PMDs, a vital food source in many Western and tailwater fisheries. The fly’s ability to reach depth quickly and drift naturally through feeding zones makes it effective not only during active PMD hatches but also when trout are opportunistically feeding subsurface. Whether you're targeting picky fish in a tailwater or prospecting in a freestone river, the Jiggy PMD delivers the depth, realism, and motion needed to convert looks into strikes.Read More +
