The Pale Evening Dun (PED) is a true gem for any angler seeking success during the twilight hours on the water. Carefully designed to replicate the delicate appearance of evening mayflies, this pattern holds the key to enticing finicky trout and other selective fish species. Crafted with precision, the Pale Evening Dun features a slender body and a wing profile that mimics the natural insect’s emergence.

The Pale Evening Dun is a go-to fly during those serene moments of dusk when mayflies take to the skies. As the light wanes and insects gather, cast this pattern delicately across the water’s surface, imitating the vulnerable stages of emerging mayflies. Focus on calm waters, riffles, and slow-moving stretches where these insects tend to gather. This fly shines during the late afternoon to early evening hours, offering an irresistible target for fish rising to feed.
