It is primarily designed for still or slow-moving lake environments, where the floatant retention and natural drift of the parachute style are most effective.
Can this fly be used for dry fly fishing?
Yes, this fly is specifically designed for dry fly takes on lakes, making it ideal for dry fly fishing techniques.
Victoria Cornish –
Fished on the midland loughs and got good takes. The floatant holds well and the fly drifts naturally. Works better than expected in early season.
Victoria White –
Good imitation of a spent mayfly. The parachute shape helps it stay afloat and move smoothly in the water. Slightly more sensitive than other patterns I’ve tried.
Jasmine Walker –
Used it on Sheelin and saw several fish take the fly. The design is simple but effective. Perfect for early spring dry fly fishing.
