CADDIS PARACHUTE DUN

Description

Caddis Parachute Dun is a versatile dry fly pattern designed to imitate emerging or freshly hatched adult caddisflies as they sit on the surface. With its slender, tan-to-olive body, upright parachute post, and hackle that allows it to float low in the film, this fly offers both realism to trout and visibility to anglers.

The parachute style ensures excellent buoyancy, making it effective in riffled water, pocket water, or along seams where caddis often emerge. The high-visibility post makes it easy to track even during low-light conditions or against complex river surfaces, while the natural body profile fools selective trout.

Caddisflies are a staple food source for trout in rivers and streams year-round, but especially abundant in spring and summer. The Caddis Parachute Dun can be fished alone during active hatches or paired in a dry-dropper rig with a small nymph for added versatility. Its combination of lifelike silhouette, reliable float, and improved angler visibility makes it one of the most effective dry flies for caddis hatches.
