Overview

The Umpqua Mimic May in PMD coloration is a refined dry fly pattern crafted to imitate one of the most important hatches in trout fishing—the Pale Morning Dun. Featuring a soft yellow body and natural wing profile, this pattern is designed for clean, drag-free drifts and subtle realism. The PMD hatch often draws intense surface activity, especially on calm rivers and spring creeks, and this fly’s low-floating posture and lifelike silhouette are specifically engineered to fool selective feeders during those moments.

The upright wings provide strong visibility for anglers, while the sparse, premium hackle keeps the fly buoyant without overwhelming its natural appearance. A fine tail and neatly tapered body replicate the proportions of emerging duns, making this pattern a standout during late-morning hatches or in slower seams where fish have time to inspect every detail. Whether you're on a tailwater with ultra-clear conditions or a freestone river with active fish, the Mimic May in PMD coloration will deliver precise presentations and consistent success.Read More +
