Parachute Black Quill

The Parachute Black Quill is a modern dry fly designed to imitate the Black Quill mayfly, a key hatch in the early spring and late fall. With its parachute hackle and upright post, this pattern achieves a perfect low-floating silhouette while offering exceptional visibility for anglers in challenging light conditions. Known for its effectiveness in clear, slow-moving waters, the Parachute Black Quill has become a favorite for targeting selective trout during mayfly emergences when a precise presentation is essential. The blend of traditional form with modern functionality makes it a versatile addition to any fly box.

Surface Film Adjustment: Apply floatant only to the hackle and post, leaving the body untreated. This allows the body to sit flush in the surface film, creating a more natural emerger-like profile.
