The Extended Body Green Parachute Drake is a high-floating, highly visible mayfly imitation built for targeting trout during prolific Green Drake hatches. Its extended foam body and parachute hackle deliver the perfect silhouette of a dun-stage drake resting in the surface film, while the white post ensures maximum visibility in complex light conditions—perfect for dusk or fast-moving water.
This fly excels on freestone rivers, meadow streams, and spring creeks where Green Drakes emerge in size and abundance, usually in late spring through early summer. The parachute design helps it sit low and naturally on the surface, imitating an easy meal and triggering confident rises from even wary trout.
Best for:
- Green Drake hatches in late spring and early summer
- Rocky Mountain freestone rivers and meadow streams
- Long, drag-free drifts during light-sensitive evening hours
📌 Pro Tip: Fish this fly on 4X–5X tippet with a gentle upstream presentation and target foam lines, seams, or soft eddies where trout are sipping adults. When visibility is low, try pairing it with a trailing emerger for double the chances.
