Parachute Caddis Dry Fly

A parachute-style caddis dry fly that combines the caddis profile trout are looking for with the visibility and natural float of a parachute design. Standard caddis patterns can be hard to see in broken water, especially in low light when caddis hatches are most active. The white post solves that problem while the tent-wing silhouette still reads as "caddis" to trout.

When to Fish It

Spring through fall during caddis activity, especially in faster or riffled water where tracking your fly is difficult. Fish it with a dead-drift or twitch it across the surface — caddis are active insects on the surface, so movement is natural and often triggers strikes. Size 14. Evening fishing is prime time.
