Size
The Traditional Parachute Hex Dry Fly is a must-have pattern for the legendary Hexagenia mayfly hatch. While the spinner fall gets the attention, the actual duns (newly emerged adults) provide consistent action during the late evening. This parachute pattern offers the perfect blend of realistic profile and angler visibility. It imitates a fully emerged Hex dun sitting upright on the water, while the bright white parachute post allows the angler to easily track the large fly in low light, making it a highly effective and popular choice for targeting trophy trout.

Product Features
  • Realistic Dun Profile: Sits upright on the water's surface, accurately mimicking a newly emerged Hexagenia adult ready to take flight.
  • High Visibility Post: Features a bright white parachute post that is easy to see during the challenging low-light conditions common during this hatch (dusk and early evening).
  • Optimal Floatation: Tied with buoyant hackle and materials to ensure it floats high and stable, ideal for the calm water typical of Hex hatches.
  • Durable Construction: Expertly tied with robust materials to withstand aggressive strikes from large fish.
  • Trophy Sizing: Available in large sizes #6, #8, and #10, perfectly matching the impressive size of these substantial mayflies.

When to Use the Traditional Parachute Hex Dry Fly
This fly is designed specifically for the emergence phase of the Hexagenia hatch, providing a crucial pattern option alongside spinner imitations.
  • During the Emergence: Use this fly in the early stages of the hatch, just before or as the duns are emerging from the water.
  • Evening Fishing: This pattern performs best during the hours leading up to dusk, when duns are most active.
  • Alternative to Spinners: When trout are keying in on emerging adults rather than the spent spinners, this parachute dun is the superior choice.
  • Lakes, Ponds, and Slow Rivers: Highly effective in the typical calm water environments where these hatches occur, such as the famous Michigan Hex hatch locations.
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.
