Overview

The Umpqua Juju Baetis Craven's in PMD is a refined micro-nymph designed to match Pale Morning Dun (PMD) nymphs with stunning accuracy and durability. Developed by renowned tier Charlie Craven, this pattern is a staple in the fly boxes of anglers who fish clear, technical waters where trout demand precise imitations. The PMD color scheme is a blend of pale yellow and olive tones, perfectly mimicking the slender silhouette and translucent bodies of natural PMD nymphs that dominate hatches in late spring and summer.

Built with SuperHair for ribbing and a thread body for a slim, segmented profile, this pattern offers minimal water resistance while maintaining a natural drift. The wingcase and thorax are proportioned to represent an emerging insect, while its small footprint and soft sheen make it irresistible to trout feeding just off the bottom or mid-column. Whether used in a tightline nymph rig, under an indicator, or behind a dry fly, the Juju Baetis PMD is a dependable choice when fish are focused on mayfly nymphs in slow water, riffles, or glassy tailouts.Read More +
