Pale Morning Dun – Parachute (Calf, Poly, Hi-Vis)

The Pale Morning Dun – Parachute is a refined dry fly pattern designed to imitate one of the most important and consistent mayfly hatches in Western trout fishing. Built with a low-riding parachute profile, this fly sits naturally in the surface film while providing excellent balance, floatation, and realistic presentation.

Designed for technical trout and selective feeding situations, the PMD Parachute performs exceptionally well during active hatches on rivers, tailwaters, and spring creeks. The parachute post improves visibility for the angler without sacrificing a natural drift, making it an ideal choice in clear water and slower current conditions.

Available with Calf, Poly, or Hi-Vis posts, anglers can choose the visibility option best suited for changing light and water conditions.
