PHEASANT TAIL PARACHUTE
$1.89
Pheasant Tail Parachute is a realistic mayfly dry fly featuring a parachute hackle—a proven trout pattern for selective fish on rivers and streams.
Description
The Pheasant Tail Parachute is a refined dry fly that combines the natural appearance of the classic Pheasant Tail with the improved floatation and visibility of parachute-style tying. This pattern is an excellent choice for imitating small to medium-sized mayflies, such as Blue Wing Olives and Pale Morning Duns, which trout often target with selectivity.
Its slim pheasant tail body creates a natural segmented look, while the parachute post and hackle keep the fly riding flush in the surface film. This low-riding profile perfectly imitates mayflies trapped between the emerger and dun stage, a critical feeding opportunity for trout. The bright parachute post also enhances visibility for anglers, making it easy to track on the water, even in glare or choppy currents.
The Pheasant Tail Parachute is especially effective on spring creeks, tailwaters, and clear freestones where trout examine every detail before striking. Fished on light tippet with a drag-free drift, it consistently produces during hatches from spring through fall. A blend of realism, floatation, and visibility makes this fly a versatile and indispensable part of any dry fly selection.
