Parachute Trico
Parachute Trico
The Trico hatch is one of the best chances to target rising trout - but tracking a dark-bodies fly in a cloud of naturals can be a challenge. The Parachute Trico solves that problem with a high-visibility post, making it easier to spot in low light and during heavy hatch activity. A must-have when fishing selective trout during Summer and early Fall mornings.

Presentation
Often fished alone in a Dry Fly Rig or used as a highly visible lead fly in a Dry Dropper setup, making it easier to track smaller trailing patterns during a hatch.
Commonly fished as the lead fly in a Double Dry setup, paired with a smaller, less visible dry fly as the dropper. Its high visibility makes it an excellent indicator, helping you track subtle takes on the trailing fly.
This dry fly is often fished as the lead fly in a Dry Dropper Emerger rig, paired with a smaller, less visible emerger as the dropper. Its high visibility acts as a strike indicator while keeping the emerger suspended just below the surface - ideal for targeting trout feeding near the top of the water column.
This highly visible dry fly serves as a strike indicator while allowing the nymph to hang higher in the water column - an ideal setup for targeting trout feeding just below the surface.
