Close cousins to the Sulphur and Pale Evening Dun, the Pale Morning Dun or PMD hatch is the stuff of mayfly legends! Filling every portion of the water column and the skies above (almost) every Western River, when the PMDs are active, the trout won't have eyes for anything else! One of the most susceptible life stages of this awesome hatch is the emergence, when these nymphs valiantly struggle towards the surface of the water, only to be eaten before they can spread their wings and fly.
