Umpqua's Johnson's Mimic May - PMD (3-Pack)
For fly anglers searching for a pattern that perfectly replicates local mayflies, the Mimic May should not be overlooked. This pattern is the first in the Mimic series of flies and has been a favorite among fly anglers and fish alike.
The creator of this pattern searched through countless major fly catalogs to find a pattern that would fill the gaps in their dry fly box. But after no success, they decided to take matters into their own hands and created the Mimic May.
This pattern was designed with natural materials to allow for skittering and skating, yet still float like a cork in rough waters. The deer hair body ensures high floating and natural appearance, while the stripped hackle fibers create a durable tail that withstands extended use.
The spun CDC thorax is where this fly shines, as it allows for excellent color blending to match popular mayfly species. The CDC also accepts powder floatant well, which keeps the fly high and dry and able to support a dropper with ease.
The Mimic May has proven to be an invaluable fly for many anglers over the years, responsible for landing countless "day-maker" fish. It's a must-have in any fly angler's arsenal and is sure to become a go-to pattern for those seeking to imitate local mayflies.
