Description

Parachute dry flies have been a favorite for many anglers for years and for good reason, they work phenomenally! Most of the body of the fly will sit down into the water and sideways hackle keeps the fly from sinking too far down. The post allows for easier tracking. This variation features a tinsel holographic dark grey body with an improved wing silhouette mimics the delicate mayflies that it represents like no other parachute pattern. The elk hair in the parachute also make this fly a bit easier to track across the water especially in tougher faster water conditions. Hook Size 14 and 16 Available.

Field Notes

This is a parachute dry fly designed to ride high and remain visible on the surface. Use it during mayfly hatches or when trout are feeding selectively on small dries, especially in faster water where the parachute post helps tracking. It is best presented with a dead-drift on riffles, seams, and pocket water.

Pros

  • Floats well as a dry fly
  • Easy to see in faster water
  • Good mayfly imitation

Cons

  • Small hook sizes can be hard to handle
  • Less effective when fish are keyed on subsurface insects
