Parachute Trico

Parachute Trico

The Parachute Trico is a highly effective small mayfly dry fly pattern designed to imitate Tricorythodes mayflies during delicate summer and fall hatches. Featuring a highly visible parachute post and low-floating profile, this fly offers excellent visibility for anglers while maintaining a natural presentation trout find irresistible.

Tricos commonly hatch in large swarms from July through October, with duns appearing in the early morning or evening and spinner falls occurring as temperatures rise. The Parachute Trico excels during these technical hatch conditions when trout feed selectively on tiny surface insects.
