The Fly Fishing Place Parachute PMD Dry Fly Set — 6 Flies, Size 14

Overview

The Parachute Pale Morning Dun (PMD) dry fly from The Fly Fishing Place captures the quiet elegance of mayflies skittering across the water’s surface.

Why anglers reach for PMD

• Parachute styling creates a crisp silhouette, making takes easier to spot and read in breeze or current.
• Hand-tied on premium hooks with quality hackle for dependable performance and lasting durability.

Where to fish it

Ideal for rivers, lakes, streams, and high-mountain waters where mayfly emergences are common. The PMD pattern stays effective across varied water clarity and light, making it a versatile option on many days on the water.

Set details and practical notes

• Contains six hand-tied dry flies in size 14, ready to pair with your leader and tippet.

Tips for successful fishing

Match the hatch by observing local color and size variations, then let the fly drift naturally. Small adjustments to presentation, rather than the fly itself, can improve takes in many scenarios.

Notes on use
