PMX - Umpqua Fly
Details
Developed as an attractor pattern, the MADAM X pushed the envelope in its day with its heavily dressed appearance and rubber legs. Imitating various terrestrial and stoneflies, this pattern deserves a place in every fly box. With the addition of a post wing and parachute hackle, the MADAM X is taken to new levels.
