The Story
When the sun is high, nothing's hatching, and you want to lure the fish to the surface, the Parachute Ant Dry Fly is a great place to start. The Parachute Ant Dry Fly is tied to match the segmented body of an ant, and its parachute style of construction allows the fly to ride right in the surface film while providing additional visibility. When fishing the Parachute Ant, it pays to cast around and under streamside structures like trees, shrubs, or a grassy meadow because that's where the naturals are most likely to fall into the water and become a meal, and yes, windy days will be your friend.
The Parachute Ant is a fly that you can get away with fishing as soon as you see ants in your area, and early spring through late fall is usually a safe bet. The most common sizes are 14-18, and the Parachute Ant is a fly that you can count on to catch anything from large browns in a limestone stream to bluegills in a backyard pond, so this is definitely a fly worth having in your selection.
