Pale Evening Dun

The Pale Evening Dun imitates Ephemerella dorothea, a pale yellow to cream-colored mayfly that typically hatches in the evening on streams and rivers across the U.S. It’s especially effective during summer evenings in clear, slower water.

History:
PEDs have been a classic hatch in Eastern and Western rivers for decades. Traditional dry fly styles with light cream bodies and upright wings were developed to match this hatch as early as the 1930s–40s. They remain essential in fly boxes throughout summer.
