The Green Para Drake is a classic parachute-style dry fly that imitates the adult stage of the Green Drake—a large, attention-grabbing mayfly that triggers aggressive strikes from trout during peak summer hatches. With its segmented green body, upright white parachute post, and hackled thorax, this pattern floats low in the water like a newly emerged dun, offering trout a realistic and easy meal.
The parachute post increases visibility for anglers, while the low-riding body presents an irresistible silhouette to fish. This fly excels during active Green Drake hatches on rivers, spring creeks, and tailwaters where fish have time to inspect their food. It's a top choice for targeting larger trout that are keying in on size and profile.
Best for:
- Green Drake hatches in late spring and summer
- Tailwaters, slick glides, and shallow riffles
- Selective trout feeding on duns
📌 Pro Tip: During a hatch, fish the Green Para Drake solo or ahead of an emerger like an RS2 or a small soft hackle to cover multiple stages of the mayfly lifecycle. Apply floatant to the post and hackle only to keep the body riding flush like the natural insect.
