FAQs

What size fly should I use?

Sizes 12-20 are available. Choose a size that matches the insects you see on the water. Smaller sizes (18-20) are good for smaller insects or picky fish, while larger sizes (12-16) are better for larger insects or rougher water.

How do I make the fly float better?

Apply dry fly floatant before fishing. Make sure the fly is dry and free from any dirt or debris.

Can I use this fly in still water?

Yes, it can be effective in still water, especially when there's surface activity. Cast near structures or where fish are rising.

How do I know when to replace the fly?

Replace the fly if the hackle is damaged, the hook is bent, or it no longer floats well after applying floatant.

What type of leader should I use?

A tapered leader with a tippet size that matches the conditions and the size of the fly.

How can I improve my presentation?

Aim for a drag-free drift. Cast upstream and let the fly drift naturally with the current. Mend your line to correct for drag.

Troubleshooting

Fly not floating properly.

Apply a dry fly floatant to the fly before fishing. Ensure the hackle is not matted down; if so, gently dry and fluff the hackle.

Fish not taking the fly.

Adjust fly size to match the insects in the area. Vary your retrieve and presentation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly effective for surface feeding trout.
  • Excellent presentation due to parachute design.
  • Durable and long-lasting.
  • Versatile for different water conditions and species.

Cons

  • Performance depends on matching local insect hatches.
  • May require occasional adjustments to improve buoyancy after extended use.
  • Can be delicate, particularly the hackle, and may require careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Setup: Attach the fly to your tippet using a loop knot or improved clinch knot.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with standard fly fishing gear, including 4-6 weight rods and a floating line.
  • Care: After each use, dry the fly thoroughly to maintain its buoyancy. Store flies in a dry fly box to prevent damage. Replace flies when the hackle is damaged or loses its shape.
