TJF Hi-Vis Grey Parachute
Parachute mayfly are incredibly reliable dry fly patterns and work on almost every river around the world. This grey variation is the colour of many of our Australian river mayflies. The slim body and fine hackle help the fly present naturally and are surprisingly subtle to fish. It also features a chartreuse post to make this fly more visible to the angler.

More fly information...
The Grey Parachute can be fished as a single dry fly or with a nymph suspended beneath. It will comfortably hold up to a 2.5mm tungsten beaded nymph. We recommend fishing the fly on 5X tippet or lighter to reduce drag and improve the quality of the drift.
This fly is tied on a barbless dry fly hook.
