The Red Tag Parachute is a classic fly pattern with roots in 19th-century England. It has stood the test of time and remains one of the most trusted and versatile flies for modern anglers. Highly effective for grayling, it is equally attractive to a wide range of species in both rivers and stillwaters.
Thanks to its parachute hackle, this fly sits perfectly on the water surface, offering excellent visibility and a natural presentation. From small dace to experienced carp, you never know what will rise to a Red Tag — the only factor is the size you tie it in. A true must-have for every fly box.
