{"product_id":"parachute-pmd-pale-yellow-dry-fly","title":"Parachute PMD Pale Yellow Dry Fly","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Parachute PMD Pale Yellow Dry Fly is a classic mayfly dry that matches pale yellow PMD-style bugs and earns its spot as a must-have when trout are feeding on top. The parachute profile sits low, shows a clean silhouette, and stays easy to track in broken light. Keep a few on hand for picky rainbows, browns, and cutthroat that slide up and sip small mayflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Imitates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fly imitates a Pale Morning Dun style mayfly adult with a pale yellow body and upright profile. The parachute hackle and post help it ride flush in the film, which matches the look of a natural mayfly struggling to lift off. In sizes 16 and 18, it also passes as other light-colored mayflies when fish are keying on small, pale duns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe parachute build gives you a low-riding footprint without sacrificing visibility, so you can keep contact and still present a subtle dry. The pale yellow coloration is a strong choice on clear water where trout inspect a fly closely. It is tied by Umpqua Feather Merchants, and because it is handmade, the fly you receive may vary slightly from the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComparisons\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eParachute PMD Pale Yellow Dry Fly vs Parachute Adams:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eChoose the Parachute PMD when trout are eating light yellow mayflies and refusing gray or darker tones. A Parachute Adams is a better general searching dry, but it can look too neutral when fish are locked on pale mayfly adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eParachute PMD Pale Yellow Dry Fly vs Sparkle Dun PMD:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Parachute PMD gives you a taller post and a more traditional parachute silhouette that is easy to see in chop. A Sparkle Dun PMD sits even lower and suggests a dun or emerger in the film, which can be the better call when trout are sipping softly and ignoring higher-floating dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eParachute PMD Pale Yellow Dry Fly vs Comparadun PMD:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Parachute PMD uses parachute hackle to support the fly and keep it riding level, which helps on riffles and mixed currents. A Comparadun PMD can land softer and look cleaner on flat water, but it may be harder to track and can be less forgiving in rough surface texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Umpqua","offers":[{"title":"Pale Yellow \/ 16","offer_id":48478053335273,"sku":"SKU052857128833-SM037","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pale Yellow \/ 18","offer_id":48478053368041,"sku":"SKU052857128840-SM019","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/umpqua-flies-parachute-pmd-pale-yellow-dry-fly-1199958282.jpg?v=1761642244","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/parachute-pmd-pale-yellow-dry-fly","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
