What It Imitates: Big insects like stoneflies, hoppers, beetles, and even large ants — basically anything buggy that ends up on the water.

Type: Dry Fly / Terrestrial

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Super Buoyant—easily floats heavy dropper nymphs
• Buggy profile and rubber legs drive fish crazy
• Easy to see, even in choppy water
• Great searching pattern when there's no obvious hatch

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it alone on a tapered leader, or use it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a heavier nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Deadly in summer and early fall when stoneflies and terrestrials are abundant. Fish it along grassy banks, under overhanging trees, or anywhere you’d expect bugs to fall in. Works well on rivers, creeks, and even lakes.

Extra Tip(s): Try smearing a little extra floatant on the body and legs to keep it riding high all day, especially if you’re running a heavy dropper below.

What It Imitates: Single adult midges — those tiny, delicate bugs that make up the bulk of a fish’s diet, especially in winter and early spring.

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Sparse, ultra-realistic profile fools picky trout sipping tiny bugs
• Rides low in the surface film just like a natural midge
• Perfect for flat water and technical tailwaters (river below a dam)
• A go-to fly when trout are keyed in on the smallest dries

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it on a long, light tapered leader with a dead-drift across smooth runs, seams, and tailouts. Cast gently and watch carefully — takes are subtle. If you’re having trouble seeing it, try fishing it behind a small, visible dry like a Griffith’s Gnat as an indicator.

Where & When to Use: Best in winter and early spring when midges dominate the hatch chart, but works year-round on technical tailwaters and spring creeks.

Extra Tip(s): If it starts sinking, dry it off and use powdered floatant — gel floatant can weigh it down and ruin the natural ride.

What It Imitates: Mayflies that didn’t fully hatch — crippled or stuck in the surface film. Exactly what selective trout target because they’re easy, helpless meals.

Type: Dry Fly / Emerger / Cripple

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Low-riding, half-emerged profile fools the pickiest trout
• Sparse, realistic silhouette perfect for technical water
• Designed for tough hatch-matching situations when fish ignore duns (adults)
• A deadly pattern on spring creeks, tailwaters, or any slow water

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it on a tapered leader with delicate drifts over glassy water, slicks, or tailouts. Let it drift naturally and keep an eye out for subtle sips — trout often barely break the surface when eating cripples.

Where & When to Use: Best during mayfly hatches from spring through fall, especially on pressured rivers or flat water where trout study every bug before eating.

Extra Tip(s): Apply floatant only to the wing and hackle — leave the body untreated so it rides half in, half out of the film, just like a mayfly that couldn’t quite hatch. That’s often exactly what smart trout look for.

What It Imitates: Mayfly emergers or adults riding low in the surface film — especially deadly during BWO, PMD, and other small mayfly hatches.

Type: Dry Fly / Emerger

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Sparkle shuck tail imitates the trailing exoskeleton of a freshly hatched adult
• Rides low in the film, just like the naturals trout target first
• Sparse, realistic profile fools even picky, hatch-focused fish
• A must-have for technical water and tough hatch-matching days

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it as one of your flies on a double nymph rig, or as your smaller fly in a double dry fly rig (we recommend the Parachute PMD or Parachute BWO).

Where & When to Use: Perfect in slower seams, flats, and tailouts during mayfly hatches, especially in summer when mayflies are most active. Deadly on pressured water where trout get selective.

Extra Tip(s): Try fishing it behind a high-floating dry like an Parachute Adams — your dry acts as a subtle indicator, and trout often hit the emerger just below it.

What’s in the Pack: 3x Improved Sparkle Duns tied on premium hooks.

What It Imitates: Adult caddisflies skittering or drifting on the surface — also gets mistaken for small stoneflies or even terrestrials.

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Elk hair wing keeps it riding high, even in rough water
• Versatile — can be dead-drifted or skated to imitate a fleeing caddis
• Durable enough to handle aggressive strikes and fast water
• Strong floater that easily carries a heavier dropper

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it solo on a 9 ft tapered leader for delicate, drag-free drifts, or run it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Best in fast riffles, pockets, and seams from late spring through early fall when caddis are active. Also great near the bank in the evening when caddis often flutter back to lay eggs.

Extra Tip(s): Apply gel floatant to your dry fly before it ever touches the water to keep it riding high from the start. Then use powdered floatant throughout the day to dry and refresh the fly whenever it starts to sink.

• Parachute post makes it super easy to see
• Unique purple body trigger eats from curious trout
• Rides low in the film for a natural, delicate presentation
• A go-to searching pattern when you’re not sure what trout are keyed in on

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it solo on a 9 ft tapered leader for delicate, drag-free drifts, or run it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a small nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Perfect for riffles, seams, and gentle pools from spring through fall — basically anytime you see fish rising or bugs on the water.

Where & When to Use: Perfect for riffles, seams, and gentle pools from spring through fall — basically anytime you see fish rising or mayflies on the water.

Extra Tip(s): Carry a few in different sizes (14-18) to match whatever mayflies are hatching that day. Going smaller often helps when dealing with picky fish.

What It Imitates: Big insects like stoneflies (this one is flavored like a Golden Stonefly), hoppers, beetles, and even large ants — basically anything buggy that ends up on the water.

Type: Dry Fly / Terrestrial

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Super Buoyant—easily floats heavy dropper nymphs
• Buggy profile and rubber legs drive fish crazy
• Easy to see, even in choppy water
• Great searching pattern when there's no obvious hatch

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it alone on a tapered leader, or use it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a heavier nymph below.

Where & When to Use: Deadly in summer and early fall when stoneflies and terrestrials are abundant. Fish it along grassy banks, under overhanging trees, or anywhere you’d expect bugs to fall in. Works well on rivers, creeks, and even lakes.

What It Imitates: Beetles or other small terrestrials that have fallen into the water — a common and easy meal for trout, especially in the warmer months.

Type: Dry Fly / Terrestrial

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Foam body floats well in riffles and along banks
• Hi-vis foam makes it easy to track, even in glare or shade
• Compact, buggy profile trout recognize and trust
• A summer essential that’s simple, subtle, and deadly effective

Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it alone on a tapered leader, near grassy banks, under overhanging branches, or tight to structure where beetles are likely to fall in. Let it drift naturally or give it the occasional twitch to mimic a struggling bug. Also a sneaky-good option in a double dry fly rig with a larger attractor up front (we recommend the Chubby Chernobyl).

Where & When to Use: Best from late spring through early fall on creeks, rivers, and even stillwater edges. Especially effective when fish are feeding on terrestrials but ignoring larger bugs.

Extra Tip(s): Slap it down a little harder than usual — beetles don’t land gracefully, and the “plop” often gets a trout’s attention fast.

• Easy to see thanks to the poly yarn wing

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• CDC and poly yarn wing combo keep it ultra-buoyant yet delicate
• Floats beautifully even in riffles, but still sits low enough to fool picky trout

Type: Dry Fly

Pros (Why You’ll Love It): 

• Easy to see on the water thanks to the white post
• Subtle olive body and upright post perfectly match natural BWOs
• Floats well even in rough water
• Fish eat it even when they’re picky.

Where & When to Use: Perfect for riffles, seams, and gentle pools from spring through fall — basically anytime you see fish rising or mayflies on the water.
