Bead Head Poxyback PMD

The Bead Head Epoxy Back PMD is a perfect anatomical representation of the Pale Morning Dun.  From perfectly splayed tails and legs, to carefully placed gills at the beginning of the abdomen this fly will not disappoint.  A must-have for any trout stream. The Story of Mercer’s Poxyback PMD Creative fly tyer, Mike Mercer, is generally credited with creating the “Poxyback” style of artificial fly. Mr. Mercer will tell you, however, that “the Poxyback style came to me from the genius of others.” In fact, Mercer has credited three other accomplished fly anglers and tyers, Andy Burk, Rich Henry, and Hal Janssen, with providing the inspiration to work with epoxy on nymphs. Regardless of who gave the idea its first breath, the use of epoxy in both beaded and  non-beaded nymphs and wet fly patterns to imitate the particular dark wetness and shine that develops along the backs and wing pads of mature nymphs has become quite popular among the world’s fly tyers and fly fishers in recent years.
