Dry Fly Platforms - Parachutes - The Troutbitten Fly Box

The parachute platform is our favorite style of dry fly and the favorite of many other anglers, because of its utility. Because it form is functional. Because it casts well, lands upright and keeps floating, even though heavy water. It fools picky trout and looks enough like an emerger and a spinner that you might get away with one fly, all the way through cycle. It's a great dry-dropper fly, it's easily adaptable. And perhaps its best quality . . . you can see the parachute post.

For all of those reasons, the Parachute dry fly platform is close to perfection.

My good friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a thorough look into the Parachute.
