Parachute Adams Dry Fly

A variation of Leonard Halladay&';s famous Adams Dry Fly, the Parachute Adams Dry Fly is an effective choice whenever you want your Adams to ride a little lower in the water and permit better visibility and buoyancy. Initially tied as a general mayfly imitation, the Parachute Adams features a calf tail wing with a parachute tied hackle that rides evenly in the water, and while this fly wasn&';t designed to match any specific insect, its grey body makes for a great imitation of anything from a Slate Drake, a Blue Quill, and even a small Blue Winged Olive if you need a representation in a pinch.The Parachute Adams is a dry fly that comes in a variety of sizes so that you can choose just what you need for the insects that you&';re matching, but if you&';re looking for an attractor pattern, you might want to choose a larger size like a 12 or 14--the buoyant calf tail wing also allows these larger parachutes to work well whenever you want to prospect with a dry dropper rig. The Parachute Adams can be presented like most other dry flies, and a drag-free upstream or downstream drift is most effective; though, this fly can be a reliable choice on stillwater lakes and ponds all the same. A fly that works equally well being tossed into fast freestone waters for native Brook Trout as it does slow water Brown Trout, the Parachute Adams is a fly that you&';ll want a variety of in your dry fly box from March to the end of November.Sizes Available:12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26
