Brown Paradrake Parachute Dry Fly

 

View large

Brown Paradrake: Created by the dynamic duo of Carl Richards and Doug Swisher to imitate large Mayflies. This pattern represents Ephemera simulans (Brown Drake dun and spinner, West and Midwest) and Litobrancha recurvala (Dark Green Drake spinner, Northeast and Eastern Canada). Brown drakes represent significant hatches to the angler based on their widely distributed and large populations of nymphs. We are currently updating our inventory and not accepting new orders. Please check back at a later date.
