PMDs

Target selective trout during summer hatches with premium PMD (Pale Morning Dun) patterns at Glenwood Springs Outdoors—key imitations for one of Colorado's most prolific mayfly hatches. Our selection includes classic PMD dries like Parachute PMD, Comparadun PMD, Sparkle Dun PMD, and Thor PMD in sizes #12–#18, plus emergers (PMD Emerger, Split Case PMD) and spinners (PMD Spinner) for full hatch coverage.

These realistic PMD flies excel during peak summer hatches (late June–August) on the Frying Pan River (famous for dense PMD emergences), the Roaring Fork's slower runs, and the Colorado River's pockets—perfect for dry fly, dry-dropper, or emerger presentations when trout sip duns in the film or take spinners on the surface.

Trusted by local guides and anglers in the Roaring Fork Valley, our PMD patterns offer natural silhouettes, high-visibility wings, and buoyant designs for perfect drifts in Gold Medal tailwaters and freestone flows. Shop our PMD fly collection today for the right sizes, colors (pale yellow/cream), and stages to match Glenwood Springs-area hatches and land more rising trout on your next summer trip.
