Parachute Bibio by Daniel Bergman

This is my free interpretation of an old Finnish imitation of the Bibio or March fly which has proven it’s worth in my flyboxes over and over again. Like other Bibio flies this one is also a great “search pattern” that seems to be able to lure out big fish from their lair wherever you are.
