Parachute Cricket

Like a swiss cake roll with legs, crickets are a summer and fall favorite among hungry fish! From the big size 8 Mormon Crickets of the West to the small summer-chirpers of the East, these dark-profiled dry flies are a blast to fish throughout the warm months and are equally effective on the lake and river. Our parachute crictets are tied with a dark, translucent wing to help them glow against a bright sky, and a parachute to assist with visibility for the angler. This pattern is most effectively fished next to bank vegetation and on windy days when the naturals often lose their way and end up in the water.
