PMX Green River Cricket
Master the PMX Cricket, a legendary dry fly pattern famously effective on Utah's Green River. I’ve teamed up with our friend Scott Barrus of Spinner Fall Guide Service to get the exact, guide-proven recipe. After much persistence from my friend Kurt Standifird, I’m finally breaking down this challenging, high-floating pattern so you can tie it with confidence for your next trout outing.
