RS2 – PMD
The RS2 – PMD is a specialized emerger pattern designed for technical tailwaters where trout are keyed in on midges and small mayflies. Its minimalist profile sits just in the film, fooling the most selective fish during a hatch.

Peter Peters –
Used the RS2 – PMD during a late summer hatch on a cold tailwater stream. The fly stayed nearly invisible and triggered multiple strikes from wary trout. Perfect for when the fish are watching the surface closely.
Charles Wallace –
Felt like a natural emerger in the water. The fly didn’t sink too deep and stayed just in the film, which helped when targeting fish that were very selective during a midge hatch.
Hannah Lee –
This fly worked exceptionally well in a high-current tailwater. The minimal profile made it hard to detect, and I caught several trout on it during a short fishing session.
