# **How to Choose Parachute Trout Flies, 18 Pack, 5 Varieties Mixed 12/16 Fishing Flies, Emergers**
When it comes to fly fishing for trout, having the right flies in your tackle box can make all the difference. Among the most effective patterns are **Parachute Trout Flies**, which offer excellent visibility and natural presentation. If you’re considering the **18-Pack with 5 Varieties Mixed (Sizes 12-16)**, including emergers, this guide will help you choose the best set for your next fishing adventure.
## **Why Parachute Flies?**
Parachute-style flies are designed to imitate insects floating on the water’s surface, making them ideal for dry fly fishing. Their unique feature is a **horizontal hackle** that helps them land softly and stay afloat, even in choppy water. The **upright post** enhances visibility for anglers, making it easier to track strikes.
This **18-pack assortment** includes **five different patterns**, ensuring versatility in various fishing conditions. Whether you’re targeting **rainbow, brown, or brook trout**, these flies mimic mayflies, caddis, and other common trout prey.
## **Key Features of the 18-Pack Mixed Flies**
### **1. Five Varieties for Different Hatches**
A well-rounded selection ensures you’re prepared for multiple insect hatches. Common patterns in such packs include:
– **Parachute Adams** (imitates mayflies)
– **Parachute BWO (Blue-Winged Olive)**
– **Parachute Hare’s Ear** (great for emergers)
– **Parachute Caddis**
– **Parachute PMD (Pale Morning Dun)**
Each fly is tied with **high-quality materials** for durability and realistic movement.
### **2. Sizes 12-16 for Versatility**
Trout can be selective about fly size, so having **a range from 12 to 16** ensures you can match the hatch accurately.
– **Size 12:** Best for larger mayflies and caddis in faster water.
– **Size 14-16:** Ideal for midge and small mayfly imitations in clear, slow-moving streams.
### **3. Emerger Patterns for Subsurface Action**
Some flies in this pack likely include **emerger-style designs**, which sit just below the surface—perfect for when trout are feeding on nymphs transitioning into adults.
## **How to Select the Best Parachute Flies for Your Trip**
### **1. Match the Local Hatch**
Before purchasing, research the **insect activity** in your fishing area. If mayflies are dominant, prioritize **Adams or BWO patterns**. If caddis are hatching, ensure your pack includes **Parachute Caddis flies**.
### **2. Consider Water Conditions**
– **Fast-moving water?** Use **larger sizes (12-14)** for better visibility.
– **Clear, slow water?** Opt for **smaller sizes (16-18)** and more natural colors.
### **3. Check Hook Quality**
A good parachute fly should have a **sharp, chemically-etched hook** for better hooksets. The **18-pack from KyleBooker** ensures high-quality hooks that won’t bend under pressure.
### **4. Floatation & Durability**
Look for flies with **stiff hackle and buoyant posts** (often made of poly yarn or CDC). This ensures they stay afloat longer, even after multiple fish strikes.
