Parachute Adams Fly Tying Tutorial

A spin on Leonard Halladay’s classic Adams Dry Fly, the Parachute Adams is a super effective parachute pattern whether you’re fishing a tiny blue line or a large river. An excellent choice for searching water or when looking to match a grey mayfly like the slate drake, the Adams Parachute is as versatile as they come.

Parachute patterns are probably my favorite pattern to fish as the body rides low and the post makes them easy to see. My only problem is durability. It doesn't seem to matter If the fly is purchased ( I'm not my tier... Yet )at a local sporting goods store for a dozen for $10 or hand-tied at a local outfitter store at $3.50 a piece, the parachute always seems to come off at the front end and unwind- especially when I'm removing them from the mouth of a particularly feisty rainbow. Is there anything that I can do to purchased parachute flies before I fish them (a dab of head cement or super glue? A few extra winds thread?) that would help them stand up over time a little bit?

Yo - throw this down on a long shank - light wire hook - unless they're king salmon - they shouldn't bend or break the hook. But I like what you are doing on YouTube. Well the body should be longer - you just have to look at the real insect. If you're tying well .. uh .. why make it on a commercial prefab hook. Well yum - those trout are gonna want it anyway. : )

So why did you go with the red & have you found it effective. I'd like to know because I write books about stuff that really works now. Being in the field - no. Now stick all those hair fibers into a tapered body for buoyancy -- or tell me why that ain't even gonna work. : )
