Featured Dry Flies for Every Angler

  • Parachute Adams - Size 12 - The ultimate mayfly imitation that matches multiple hatches throughout the season, featuring superior visibility and buoyant hackle design.
  • Elk Hair Caddis - Size 14 - Essential caddis flies pattern with hair wing construction that floats high during evening hatches when trout feed aggressively on adult caddis.
  • Blue Winged Olive - Size 16 - Perfect baetis imitation for finicky trout, designed with lifelike proportions that fool selective fish during spring and fall emergences

Premium Dry Fly Patterns That Catch Fish

Our dry fly collection features proven patterns selected for their ability to imitate insects that trout feed on naturally. From classic mayfly patterns like the Parachute Adams to versatile attractor flies like our Stimulator series, each fly is tied with premium hackle and hair wing materials that maintain excellent floating performance.

These versatile dry fly patterns work across diverse water conditions and fishing seasons. The Elk Hair Caddis excels during evening hatches when adult caddis emerge, while Blue Winged Olive patterns match spring and fall baetis emergences that many anglers target for consistent action.

Choose Your Right Dry Fly - Expert Recommendations

New Fly Anglers: Start with high-visibility attractor patterns like our Stimulator and Parachute Adams combo. These versatile dry fly patterns catch fish in 90% of situations while building confidence on the water.

Experienced Anglers: Add specialty patterns like Purple Haze and Chubby Chernobyl for selective waters. Our hopper and ant patterns excel during warm weather when grasshopper imitations attract large trout feeding near the surface film.

Dry Flies FAQs

What is a dry fly?

A dry fly is a type of artificial fishing fly designed to float on the water’s surface and imitate adult insects. Anglers use dry flies to attract fish feeding at or near the surface, especially trout during hatches of mayflies, caddisflies, or other aquatic insects.

How to keep dry flies afloat?

Keep dry flies afloat by applying floatant, using water-repellent materials, and drying them regularly during use. Silicone gel or powder floatants help maintain buoyancy. Avoid getting the fly soaked and false cast to shake off excess water.

Why are my dry flies sinking?

Dry flies sink when they absorb water, lose floatant, or become damaged. Incomplete drying or improper storage can also cause sinking. Fish strikes or extended use can crush hackle fibers, reducing buoyancy and making the fly waterlogged.

How to treat a dry fly?

Treat a dry fly by applying floatant before use, drying it after each cast, and storing it in a ventilated fly box. Use desiccant powder or silica beads to remove moisture. Proper treatment extends the fly's lifespan and keeps it effective on the water.
