The Extended Body Gray Para Drake is a high-floating, ultra-realistic mayfly imitation designed to mimic the adult stage of large mayflies like Green Drakes and Gray Drakes. Tied with an extended foam body and parachute-style hackle, this pattern floats like a cork and presents a lifelike silhouette that fools even the most selective trout during hatch season. The muted gray coloration is ideal for matching drake hatches on overcast days or clear, low-light evenings when natural insects appear more subdued.
Perfect for slow-moving runs, tailouts, and stillwater edges where drakes gather and drift, the Gray Para Drake is best fished during active hatch windows or during spinner falls when trout are dialed in on larger mayfly adults. Its visible parachute post makes it easy to track, even at long distances or in choppy water.
Best for:
- Matching Green Drake and Gray Drake hatches
- Slow to moderate currents, stillwater edges, and long tailouts
- Low-light mayfly hatches in late spring and early summer
📌 Pro Tip: Fish this pattern solo on a long 5X leader for the most natural drift, or trail a small emerger like an RS2 behind it during the early stages of a hatch to cover both water columns.
