Comparadun – PMD by Umpqua
The Comparadun defines simplicity, but it is a true fish catching machine. It has one of the most beautiful silhouettes in a mayfly imitation of all time. Due to the nature of the tie the fly rides low in the film and the hollow costal deer hair helps to keep the fly afloat. These Comparadun’s are best fished for difficult fish in slow currents where a great imitation is a must. We offer this proven pattern in 22’s through 10’s to match BWO’s to Western Green Drakes.

Jan Marshall –
Fished it in a slow-moving stream and caught several trout. The fly stayed natural and floated well despite the current. Great detail and realistic silhouette. Perfect for imitating mayflies in still water.
Wendy Davies –
Used the 14 size in a dry fly section. It stayed low and didn’t sink too fast. The deer hair helped it float just right. A reliable pattern for green drakes in spring.
Leonard Kerr –
This is one of the best mayfly imitations I’ve used. The way it sits in the water and mimics real insects is impressive. Works well in low current and hard to catch situations.
