Rise to the Occasion: Rio Sparkle Flag PMD
Subtle Sparkle Meets Technical Precision
The Rio Sparkle Flag PMD is a masterfully designed dry fly that combines visual realism with enhanced angler visibility. Created to mimic the exact moment a Pale Morning Dun (PMD) emerges from its shuck, this pattern features a polyfibre trailing shuck and a uniquely stacked hackle that’s pulled forward over the thorax, perfectly capturing the delicate transition of mayfly emergence.
But it's not just a fish’s eye that it caters to—the innovative forward-angled flag post ensures the fly remains highly visible on the water, even in low light or glare-heavy conditions. The result? A high-confidence PMD pattern that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
