"Favorite 'go-to' flies that you believe in will
catch more fish than others- simply because you'll fish them
first, longer, more often, and harder."

Parachute flies
have several advantages. First you don't need the higher-grade hackle to
construct the fly. A #3 dry fly neck will do about as well as a #1, which will
cost much more. the fact that the hackles radiate outward from the hook means
they will better support the fly on the surface. I personally feel that
parachute files give a more realistic impression of an insect to the fish that
views the fly, since the hackles are in the same position as the insect's
legs. and when tied with brightly colored hackles, these flies are easier to
see on the float. A final advantage is that in rough water, a
parachute-hackled dry fly will float longer and better than a conventional
one."
