The Parachute Pheasant Tail is one of the older and more venerable patterns in fly fishing, originally developed in England as a nymph. This dry fly is a useful prospector and very productive as a spinner or hatching mayfly. The parachute post makes the Pheasant Tail visible and the horizontal hackle lets the fly sink deeper into the film Like the Klinkhammer. Easily track the drift of this dry fly that imitates many natural mayflies.
This classic dry fly sits in the water to present a very natural silhouette to trout below a great dry fly imitation. Be sure to have a few of these handy on your next dry fly fishing trip.
