CALLIBAETIS PARACHUTE EXT BODY
$1.89
Callibaetis Parachute Ext Body imitates duns with a lifelike extended body and parachute hackle—a proven stillwater dry fly for selective trout.
Description
The Callibaetis Parachute Ext Body is a highly realistic dry fly designed to imitate the delicate Callibaetis mayflies that are vital food sources in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers. Known as the “Speckled Wing Dun,” these insects hatch steadily throughout the season, and trout feed on them with intensity, often becoming very selective.
This extended-body design provides a slim, lifelike silhouette that matches the natural dun stage of Callibaetis mayflies. The parachute hackle allows the fly to sit flush in the surface film, imitating insects struggling to emerge while still giving anglers reliable visibility and buoyancy. The extended abdomen mimics the elongated body of the natural insect, while the upright parachute post enhances tracking during windy conditions or broken water.
The Callibaetis Parachute Ext Body is most effective during late spring through summer hatches when trout are rising steadily to Callibaetis duns. It excels in stillwaters where these insects dominate the trout’s diet. Fished on a drag-free drift, this fly is a proven choice for selective fish that demand accuracy and realism.
