Parachute Trico

The Parachute Trico is a refined update of the traditional Trico dry fly, originally designed to match the tiny, slender mayflies known for their dense morning spinner falls. Early tiers struggled to keep such small patterns visible and floating, which led to the adoption of the parachute post—giving anglers a fly that rides level, lands softly, and is far easier to track on the water. The parachute version maintains the slim profile and delicate proportions of the classic Trico while offering improved stability and realism during slow, gentle drifts when fish become highly selective.

Pro Tip – Use in tandem with a black parachute and white parachute as some Trico’s turn white.
