The Parachute Pheasant Tail is a versatile parachute-style dry fly that blends the proven silhouette of a Parachute Adams with the natural hues and segmentation of pheasant tail fibers. esigned to imitate small to medium-sized mayflies such as Blue-Winged Olives, Pale Morning Duns, and even smaller caddis, this fly is an essential tool for fishing clear water and technical hatches.
The segmented pheasant tail body provides a lifelike profile and natural sheen that trout find irresistible, while the white parachute post offers excellent visibility in all light conditions. The parachute hackle allows the fly to sit low in the surface film, matching the behavior of real emerging mayflies during hatch events. It's a smart choice when trout are sipping selectively and ignoring flashier patterns.
Best for:
- Clear water and technical hatches
- Spring and fall BWO or PMD hatches
- Selective trout in calm surface conditions
📌 Pro Tip: Use 5X–6X tippet and aim for a dead drift along seams, eddies, or back eddies during active hatches. For added effectiveness, trail an RS2 or WD-40 behind it to mimic an emerger following the adult.
