Holding its head and abdomen close to the water, and its wings high aloft, the Parachute Blue Dun is an excellent fly pattern when matching the Black Quill, Blue Quill, Hendrickson, Callibaetis, and Ginger Quill Mayfly hatches. While this fly pattern shares many characteristics with its cousin the Parachute Adams, it sports a smoky blue-grey wing that gives it a softer profile against the backdrop of a cloudy day. The Parachute Blue Dun is one of the most versatile dry patterns in the angler's arsenal and deserves a place of honor in every mayfly box!
