{"product_id":"olive-elk-hair-caddis-parachute-style","title":"Olive Elk Hair Caddis (Parachute Style)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Olive Parachute Caddis is a high-visibility dry fly that sits flush in the surface film exactly as a natural caddis would. These two variations share an olive dubbed body and splayed hackle fibres, with the left fly featuring a softer tan parachute post and the right sporting a darker, more visible black-tipped post for low-light conditions. The Olive Elk Hair Caddis style is one of the most consistently productive dry flies across Canadian trout waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Time of Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late May through September, peaking during evening caddis hatches in June and July. The parachute style is especially effective during flat-light conditions and on slower, technical water where fish get a long look at your fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImitates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult caddisflies at rest or egg-laying on the surface. The flush-floating profile and splayed hackle perfectly replicate a caddis with wings folded flat on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout across BC river systems including the Thompson, Similkameen, and Elk River. Brook trout and brown trout in Ontario spring creeks and tailwaters. Sea-run cutthroat in coastal BC estuaries during evening caddis activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dead drift it through feeding lanes during hatches, but don't be afraid to drag it slightly at the end of the drift to imitate an egg-laying caddis skating across the surface. Evening rises to caddis can be explosive and the parachute post makes this fly easy to track in low light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chapman Outdoors","offers":[{"title":"Green \/ 14","offer_id":53125114691878,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0763\/4006\/8646\/files\/ElkHairCaddis-Green-14.jpg?v=1777490286","url":"https:\/\/chapmanoutdoors.ca\/products\/olive-elk-hair-caddis-parachute-style","provider":"Chapman Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
