Overview

The Umpqua Magic Fly in PMD (Pale Morning Dun) is a precision-tied dry fly designed to imitate one of the most common and important mayfly hatches in North American trout waters. Created for technical fishing situations, this pattern excels in fooling selective trout during heavy PMD hatches, particularly in spring creeks, tailwaters, and slow-moving runs. The fly’s low-riding profile mimics the delicate footprint of a natural dun, while the segmented body and fine dubbing add realism. Sparse, upright wings enhance visibility for anglers without sacrificing the silhouette fish expect.

With a slim, realistic build and carefully chosen materials, the Magic Fly lands softly on the surface and floats naturally, even in gentle flows. Its hook gape is fully exposed for clean hook sets, and the lightweight design ensures minimal disturbance during presentation. Whether you’re matching the hatch during a midday rise or prospecting under tough conditions, the Magic Fly delivers a high success rate thanks to its lifelike profile and subtle presentation.Read More +
