The Parachute Hex – Yellow/White is a bright, high-floating dry fly designed to imitate the large yellow Hexagenia mayflies that hatch in lakes and slow-moving rivers. Also known as the “White Para Yellow” or Hexagenia Paradrake, this pattern features a pale yellow segmented body with a bold white wing post, making it easy to track during low-light hatches at dusk or dawn. The parachute-style hackle creates excellent surface stability and lifelike movement, while the color palette mimics lighter-bodied Hex duns perfectly.
This fly shines during the peak of the hex hatch, when large trout feed aggressively on the surface in the evening. It’s a must-have for stillwater anglers targeting trophy browns and rainbows during Hexagenia hatches, particularly on calm summer nights.
Best for:
- Hexagenia limbata dry fly hatches
- Clear or low-light lake conditions
- Summer evening dry fly fishing
📌 Pro Tip: Use a subtle twitch after your dead drift to mimic the fluttering struggles of a freshly-emerged Hex dun—it’s often the trigger for a violent surface take.
