When you're on a glassy pool that's packed with trout rising to Hendrickson duns, the Parachute Red Quill Fly is just the right choice. Combining a realistic look with a natural profile, this parachute dry fly rides flush on the water's surface, leaving a perfect mayfly silhouette underneath, and its striped quill body only enhances the realism of this fly. This is a great choice for fishing over a hatch and should be carried throughout the whole spring season to ensure you're ready whenever the naturals emerge.

Being that Hendricksons hatch in a variety of locations, the Parachute Red Quill is an important addition to your spring dry fly box. With its parachute construction, this pattern excels in slow to moderate water and gives a lifelike imitation to these mayflies. Simple to fish, present the Parachute Red Quill with a drag-free drift and you'll find that it catches fish whether you're on the Delaware River seeking large ''bows or a secret trib loaded with brookies.
