Eastern Pale Evening Dun Nymph

The Pale Evening Dun Nymphs are crawler nymphs and as such prefer moderate currents like riffles, runs, or pocket water.  The Pale Evening Dun nymphs are available for catching trout all year long. Since they can not hide under rocks, they are visible all year long. A few days prior to emerging, nymphs began to move a few feet to the nearest calmer water and during this time they are vulnerable for trout. The Pale Evening Duns are found in the Eastern and Midwest portions of the country.

 The Pale Evening Dun Presentation:

Present a weighted nymph imitation in a dead drift in moderately flowing water such as riffles, runs and larger pockets. As with the Dun, an upstream and across presentation will be most effective. In some streams anglers may prefer the “high stickin” method.  If the water is of fairly constant depth, such as is often found in tailwater, you may take advantage of a strike indicator. Another approach is with an attractor fly in dandem with the nymph imitation. As mentioned with the Dun imitation, thePale Evening Dun Nymph fly should be fished just prior to a hatch and in the slower water where the nymph is most vulnerable.
