Crack Back Aero PMD Barbless
One of Curtis’ go-to patterns for PMD emergences. The soft hackle legs and hot spot wing pads imitate a struggling emerging PMD dun which makes it an easy meal for trout feeding on them. You don’t want to be without these when a hatch is on.

This fly performs well during PMD hatches. The soft hackle legs move naturally and trout take it easily. I’ve used it in both clear streams and slower sections of rivers. It’s a reliable pattern when the hatch is active.

Great imitation of a struggling PMD dun. The hot spot wing pads stand out in the water and attract trout consistently. A must-have for PMD season.

I’ve fished with this fly during several hatch periods and it’s been very effective. The barbless design makes it easy to retrieve and doesn’t damage the fish. Highly recommended.
