‘Parachute,’ particularly in fly fishing, refers to a particular type of fly used for mimicking surface-bound insects.
Parachute flies have a unique floating mechanism featuring a horizontally wrapped hackle around the central post, thus giving the fly its name due to its resemblance to a parachute.
This parachute-like design floats on the surface of the water like an insect, which creates a natural representation of prey falling on the grounds of predators.
At Stone Creek Outfitters, we employ top-notch materials to craft flies that fish can’t resist.
Our Parachute Flies are a must-have for any professional fisherman looking for accuracy and excellent results. Plus, they are ideal for imitating mayflies, damselflies, and other small aquatic insects.
Features of Parachute
At Stone Creek Outfitters, we offer a variety of parachute flies that provide fishermen with the best possible visibility, buoyancy, and adaptability.
Every fly is meticulously created utilizing premium materials, such as poly or calf posts, to ensure that they float high and are clearly visible on the surface of the water.
These dry flies are suitable for a variety of fishing circumstances since they are available in sizes ranging from #04 to #22.
Moreover, our parachute flies are made from high-quality materials, guaranteeing their longevity and ability to imitate insects to draw fish to the surface. Whether you’re casting or fly tying in quiet waters or going for hatches, our selection has the ideal fly for any circumstance.
How to Cast
Selecting the right size parachute fly based on the local insects will yield the greatest results.
Cast your fly close to areas where fish gather to eat, including the banks, the willows, or the lily pads. For an unobstructed vision on the water’s surface, use a floating line.
