PMD Sparkle Dun
A prolific hatch across western Canada and the western U.S., it starts in the late morning and extends through most of the afternoon. It often produces a lot of cripples and the duns seem to struggle for a long time to hatch at the surface, giving trout ample opportunity to feast. If conventional dry flies aren’t ringing the dinner bell and fish are rising, try a nymph just under the surface or an emerger at the surface. The Frying Pan River in Colorado is well known for producing a pinkish colored dun, and these can sometimes be found on other rivers as well – having a variety of patterns at hand increases your odds. A rusty spinner later in the afternoon is often productive.
