Field Notes

A classic dry fly for imitating small to medium mayflies and other dark olive hatches on rivers and streams. Fish it dead-drifted in the surface film, using the post as a visual indicator to track the drift and detect subtle takes.

Pros

  • Excellent visibility thanks to the parachute post
  • Natural mayfly imitation
  • Good for delicate dry-fly presentations

Cons

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