Description

A best seller. The classic Greenwells but tied with a parachute hackle so that it sits low and delicately on the water. Some anglers use nothing else.

Field Notes

This is a dry fly designed to sit delicately on the surface, making it a good choice when trout are feeding on or near the top. The parachute hackle helps it land softly and stay visible, so it works well on calm water and during selective rises.

Pros

  • Sits low and naturally on the water
  • Parachute hackle improves floatation and visibility
  • Classic dry-fly profile

Cons

  • Best only when fish are taking insects on the surface
  • Can be hard to see in rough water or glare
