What to tie tonight? It looks like my boxes a light on Adams Parachutes so I better get working on them. This is a great pattern if you cannot figure out what is hatching. The trout seem to take this fly for any number of different hatches. It seems they clue in on the size instead of the color when it comes to an Adams. Everybody should have several in their box. This fly can save the day and has for me several times.
Adams Parachute
Adams Parachute
Hook: Mustad 94840 #10-20
Thread: Uni 8/0 Gray
Body: Gray Superfine Dubbing
Wing: White Z-Lon
One note I should make. While the original calls for Grizzly and Brown hackle I tied these with Cree hackle. This is a great substitute for the mixing of grizzly and brown. If you are ever lucky enough to find on pick one up. It will be well worth the price.
