Blue Wing Olive Parachute

The Parachute BWO imitates adult Blue-Winged Olive mayflies with greater realism, thanks to its horizontal hackle and low-floating profile. The parachute post makes the fly more visible to anglers while helping it sit flush in the film like a natural dun.

History:
Developed in the latter half of the 20th century, the parachute BWO quickly became a favorite among trout anglers due to its realism and visibility. It offers a more lifelike presentation than traditional hackled versions and is a go-to fly for matching BWO hatches across the U.S., particularly in the West.
