Parachute PMD

Traditional parachute pattern tied in pale yellow to match up with the ubiquitous summertime PMD hatch.  One of the most versatile and effective dry fly patterns available and usually the answer of the often-asked question “if you could only fish one dry fly, what would it be?” Its effectiveness comes from a very realistic silhouette that sits low in the water and the highly visible wing that is known to be trigger for trout to eat. The highly visible wing is also in part responsible for its popularity among anglers. The calftail wing and parachute-style hackle also add floatation. Don’t leave home without a wide range of sizes in your box!
