Fly tying video: The PMD Sparkle Dun was developed in West Yellowstone, Montana by Craig Matthews. The sparkle dun is one of the best overall mayfly patterns ever created. It’s easy to tie and low maintenance.
This is actually one of my favorite videos so far, Chris breaks the thread and still finishes the fly with a series of tiny half hitches.

This fly is also highly recommended for the Mammoth Lakes area through Bridgeport (East Walker river) area in Northern California in the High Sierras.

I fished with this fly on the Rio Costilla (Northern New Mexico) with excellent results. The cutthroats would not take any other fly. Thanks for supplying this video.
