The Parachute Adams is one of the most famous and, might I add, effective, dry fly patterns known to anglers. Moreover, between its versatility, reliability, and ease of visibility on the water, it is one of the most essential fly patterns to keep stocked in your fly box.
The Parachute Adams, with its visible white wing, natural gray body, and smoke of mixed hackle looks like a lot of things in nature that trout eat. It is one of the best searching flies you can carry and is a critical fly for your minimalist list of patterns. It will catch trout on smooth and rough waters, when they are selective and when they are not.
Tie up six Parachute Adams and bring them to the February chapter meeting. There will be two raffles.
