PMD season is one of the best times to fish the Bighorn, and having the right dry flies can make all the difference.
Pete’s go-to PMD patterns:
- 3 Mile PMD
- Last Chance PMD
- The Missing Link PMD
- CDC PMD Spinner
- BA CDC PMD
Each of these patterns shines under different conditions. Whether you’re matching fresh duns as they emerge, fooling selective trout during the hatch, or targeting fish feeding on spent spinners, there’s a time and place for every one of these flies.
If you’re fishing the Bighorn this summer, these are patterns you’ll want in your dry fly box. Stop by the shop and we’ll help you pick the right sizes and let you know what’s been producing on the river.
