Description

The Parachute Madame X (aka PMX) is an attractor that is one of the highest floating and most visible flies out there. This allows it to easily support tungsten weighted nymphs as the anchor of a dry-dropper setup. Its thin profile and rubber legs effectively mimics large stoneflies (golden stones, skwalas, etc.), grasshoppers, and other terrestrials. The PMX is a confidence fly on western trout waters from early spring through fall and an especially good choice tie on first during warm summer days when you know the fish will be looking up.

Field Notes

Use this as a high-floating attractor dry fly, especially in a dry-dropper rig where it can support a weighted nymph below. It works well when trout are looking up and when you want a visible pattern that suggests stoneflies, hoppers, or other terrestrials.

Pros

  • Floats very high and stays visible
  • Good dry-dropper indicator fly
  • Versatile attractor pattern for multiple terrestrial imitations

Cons

  • Can be too buoyant or bulky for very selective fish
  • Best results usually require matching it with an appropriate dropper
