Parachute Caddis Fly

Tied by Umpqua Feather Merchants.

One of the most prolific aquatic insects around, caddis are found in a ton of water systems and can hatch at almost anytime from spring through fall, and whenever you need a caddis pattern that you can trust, the Parachute Caddis Fly is just the right choice. The Parachute Caddis Fly is a versatile dry fly thats designed to sit low in the water, match the natural caddis profile, and handle anything from swift to slow current. Combining a down hair wing with a pink parachute post and sturdy hackling lets this fly float like a cork and makes it buoyant enough to drop small, lightweight nymphs off of the back for a two-fly rig. And thanks to that bright parachute post, squinting to find your fly only after a fish has hit it is a thing of the past. 

The Parachute Caddis Fly is a pattern that you can rely on for a variety of caddis species, so it is a good idea to stock your box with a few different sizes. Not only does this bug match a slew of caddis species, but it is a fly that you can fish in still or moving water as a direct caddis imitation or just a general searching pattern.
