The PMD Foam Head Parachute (Element) is a modern twist on the classic Pale Morning Dun imitation, built to withstand tough conditions while providing excellent visibility. Designed for late spring through summer PMD hatches, this fly fishing fly combines lifelike presentation with durability, making it a favorite for anglers fishing technical tailwaters and freestone streams.
This pattern features a slim, pale yellow-tan body that accurately mimics the natural mayfly, paired with a parachute hackle for buoyancy and a foam head post for improved visibility and extended float time. The foam post ensures the fly stays on top even in rough currents, while the parachute design allows it to sit low in the surface film like a freshly hatched dun. Together, these elements give the fly a natural silhouette and high-performance flotation.
The PMD Foam Head Parachute (Element) is most effective from late May through August when PMDs hatch daily on many rivers. It performs well in riffles, glides, and tailouts where trout feed selectively on emerging or adult mayflies. Ideal for spring creeks, tailwaters, and pressured waters, these durable, visible fishing flies give anglers an edge during some of the season’s most prolific hatches.
