Size
The Parachute Madam X (PMX) is a legendary and versatile dry fly known for its potent fish-attracting design. Developed by Doug Swisher for Montana's Bitterroot River, this pattern has evolved into a global staple, combining the high-riding visibility of a parachute fly with the lifelike, buggy profile of the classic Madam X. It effectively imitates a variety of large insects and is a reliable choice when other patterns fail.

Product Features
  • Powerful Attractor: The combination of a vibrant body, an elk hair wing, and rubber legs creates an irresistible, buggy profile that provokes aggressive strikes.
  • Superior Visibility: A buoyant parachute post makes the easy for the angler to track, even in turbulent water or low light conditions.
  • Life-like Movement: The segmented, twitching rubber legs add a crucial element of realism that mimics a struggling insect on the water's surface.
  • Premium Construction: Tied with durable materials on a sharp barbed hook.
  • Versatile Sizing: Available in sizes #12, #14, and #16, covering the ideal range for a variety of insects and fishing conditions.
When to Use the Parachute Madam X
This dry fly is your go-to pattern when covering water, especially during the summer and fall. It is a productive "searching" fly when no specific hatch is apparent and can be effectively presented in various ways.
  • Terrestrial Season (Summer/Fall): The PMX is an excellent imitation for a variety of terrestrials, including hoppers and grasshoppers, as well as cicadas.
  • Stonefly Imitation: Its large, buggy appearance makes it a perfect choice for imitating adult stoneflies in both riffles and pockets.
  • Caddis Imitation: In its smaller sizes, the PMX can effectively mimic an adult caddis fly.
  • Dry-Dropper Rig: The PMX's high buoyancy makes it an ideal indicator fly when running a nymph dropper underneath, especially in faster currents.
  • Pocket Water: Its high-floating, visible design makes it a top choice for fishing turbulent pocket water where trout feed on opportunistic meals.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
