This parachute fly is made based on the Klinkhammer version, a parachute emerger originated by the well known fisherman and tiers Hans van Klinken. This fly has a body made on a 3x long shank hook and for this reason is oversized compared with other classic flies. But the fly was created especially in this way to imitate better the emerging moment of the insect. In large sizes this fly works fantastic well when big mayflies are all over and in small sizes when regular dun flies are flying over the rivers.
The quill body suits for cold rivers and combined with brown hackle is excellent for Alps rivers and central Europe
Very Important: this product cannot be delivered to the USA!
Please note that due to the recent addition of peacock to the CITES list, the sale of peacock feathers is now prohibited in the USA. While our stock of feathers was acquired prior to this restriction, we want to assure you that all of our feathers are sourced exclusively from local breeders who raise peacocks in small households as pet birds. Furthermore, our feathers are only harvested during the birds' natural moulting process and do not come from endangered wild birds. However, as we are unable to sell peacock feathers in the USA, we will soon no longer offer them for sale. We cannot sell artificial flies that have these feathers in the composition.
