caddis emerger pmd fly

Description

Heritage and Design Excellence The Caddis Emerger PMD (Pale Morning Dun) represents an innovative hybrid pattern that combines the effectiveness of both caddis and mayfly imitations during crucial emergence phases. This specialized pattern features a unique design that rides in the surface film, perfectly imitating both emerging caddis and PMD mayflies during their most vulnerable stage. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain the exact specifications that make this pattern so effective across varied fishing conditions.
