LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THERE SHALL BE FLIES THAT FLOATETH ON THE WATER WITHOUT REBUKE OR IMPEDIMENT. I DO DECLARE!

Greatest dry fly pattern ever devised, imo. Catches fish like crazy and the post gives you good visibility. Best of all, they’re easy to load with floatant so dry dropping becomes *ridiculously* easy. Elk hair caddis and parachute adams..the only two dry fly patterns I truly NEED in my box.

That Brown Sharpie trick, doing just one side of a grizzly hackle, is one of those things I should have thought of myself. Another trick to at to my fly bench. The Adams is one of the greatest dry flies ever created. I have a fly box that has nothing but that dry fly in it. I will be adding this one to the box, # 14 down to an # 18 for sure # 20 and 22 if I got the hackle for that, of course later today I am going to buy a Brown Sharpie or two.

Best tying I've come across for this fly. The sharpie thing is genius! Thanks very much.

[ronlee]

Love this method for tying parachutes. I just tied a few of these and it worked just as you showed. Thanks!

[TheXeniaman]

Great tip to color the grizzly hackle on one side. Very nice parachute adams.

What a great lesson on this classic fly. I hope to tie one tonight.

Great technique - for a great classic dry fly. I’ve caught more trout on this pattern than any other including Caddis and various stimulators.

Just caught my PB 20” brown trout with this pattern amongst many other browns of various sizes! Sz 14 loon aquel treated and floats like a cork!

Just came across this video – love the use of the super glue as tying this off is always a challenge! 🤯🎣

Now your nickname should be Cheat.. 😂. I loved the trick with sharpie, i also love CDL, best tails ever. Anyway, fly looks amazing.

[ehrenwells]

I use 2 or three pheasant tail fibers for the tail. I’m trying out your finishing technique. Thanks for the vid.

This must be the neatest bit of dubbing I've ever seen.

[juwright]

Excellent! Very neat trick with the marker 👍🏻.

[devonbrunswick]

I love this! So simple but somehow I never thought of it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[rudychavira]

Nice I colored half hackle for awhile, nice tie.

I see Cheech has been rocking the Fiskars in the last few videos. My favorite scissors by far and they’re only $10.

[graememiddleton]

Like the title says Cheech; Super clean and easy. Like it a lot

[davidzappulla]

Cheech any thoughts on using a little darker dubbing for the thorax ?

[bluejacket]

Cheech, I love the brown sharpie trick. Do you think a Cree hackle would be acceptable?
