Parachute Adams

The Parachute Adams is one of the most versatile and widely used flies and is often considered a must-have in any angler's fly box. The fly is a variation of the original Adams dry fly, which imitates a wide range of mayfly species. The Parachute Adams features a distinctive parachute-style hackle. This design allows the fly to ride higher and float well, making it easy to spot for both the angler and the fish. A great Mayfly pattern, use in different colors to match the local hatch.

When no hatches are visible, use the Parachute Adams as a searching pattern. Cast across or slightly upstream and add gentle twitches to mimic a struggling insect, enticing trout to strike.
