# **How to Choose 1 DZ D16-6 Hares Ears Parachute’s (Sizes Available), Dry Flies**
When it comes to dry fly fishing, few patterns are as versatile and effective as the **Hares Ear Parachute**. This fly imitates a wide range of insects, making it a must-have in any angler’s fly box. If you’re considering purchasing **1 DZ (Dozen) D16-6 Hares Ears Parachute’s**, this guide will help you choose the right sizes and understand why this fly is a game-changer for trout and other freshwater species.
## **Why the Hares Ear Parachute?**
The **Hares Ear Parachute** is a hybrid fly that combines the natural appeal of a traditional **Hare’s Ear Nymph** with the buoyancy and visibility of a parachute-style dry fly. Its key advantages include:
– **Natural Appearance** – The hare’s mask fur provides a buggy, lifelike texture that fish find irresistible.
– **High Visibility** – The parachute post (often made of white or fluorescent material) makes it easy to track in fast-moving water.
– **Excellent Floatation** – The parachute design keeps the fly riding high on the surface, even in choppy conditions.
– **Versatility** – It can imitate **mayflies, caddis, and even small stoneflies**, making it effective in various hatches.
## **Choosing the Right Size**
When selecting **1 DZ D16-6 Hares Ears Parachute’s**, size plays a crucial role in matching the hatch and enticing strikes. Common sizes available include:
– **#12** – Best for early-season hatches and larger mayflies.
– **#14** – A great all-around size for general dry fly fishing.
– **#16** – Ideal for midge and small mayfly imitations.
– **#18 & #20** – Perfect for selective trout in clear, slow-moving water.
For most trout fishing scenarios, **#14-#16** is the sweet spot, offering a balance between visibility and natural presentation. If you’re fishing pressured waters with educated fish, downsizing to **#18-#20** can make a big difference.
## **When and Where to Use the Hares Ear Parachute**
– **Spring & Early Summer** – Excellent during **mayfly and caddis hatches**.
– **Slow Pools & Riffles** – The parachute design keeps it afloat in varied currents.
– **Selective Trout Situations** – When fish are keying in on emerging insects, this fly excels.
