Baltz's HiVis Paranymph

From the vise of legendary fly tier and angler, Tom Baltz of Boiling Springs, PA, the Paranymph is such an elegantly effective dry fly that we are never without a few in all sizes. 

From Tom:

"This is my #1 first choice dry fly for guide trips and personal fishing. Sort of a “floating nymph/emerger design. I have been successful with it during all types of mayfly hatches and it is a great “searching” type fly, too. My custom fly clients have been successful with this fly in Europe, all over the U.S., Argentina, Chile, and New Zealand on both streams and still waters.

The ParaNymph is most effective when a gel type fly floatant is applied to just the hackle and it is otherwise fished like a dry fly. It may also be utilized effectively as the top or indicator fly in a dry fly/nymph dropper arrangement."
