Parachute Caddis
The parachute caddis should be tied on when the light is low and fish are actively feeding on sedges. This fly sits high on the surface and the high visibility indicator post will enable you to keep track of it.
The white wing post on this parachute hackled pattern is a useful sight indicator in low light, making it an ideal pattern to use as the light fades in the evening when sedges start to hatch.

I’ve tried several caddis patterns, but the Parachute Caddis stands out. It’s easy to see in low light and matches the natural behavior of sedges. Highly recommended for twilight fishing.
