ONLY Dry Fly You NEED!

This is the Parachute Adams. It’s an easy tie and very successful catching all sorts of species of fish. The body of the fly drops a bit below the surface film giving it a unique look, while staying highly visible and buoyant. I have some variants of this fly in stock at my fly shop if you would like to give it a try! #shorts

Never even knew this was a thing but it’s super dope

The high vis post material is an awesome touch. I tried this last weekend and it was almost impossible to lose sight of it.

making fly lures is a freaking ART!!!!

He got that geographic channel voice. That documentary sounding voice that soothes you into listening. I love this channel, because I am learning to fly fish for the first time. Great channel!

One useful twist to this pattern. After securing the hackle take the thread back to the eye. With one hand draw back the hackle to behind the post. Pull the post forwards and secure it at the eye. Then whip finish under the post. This gives the effect of emerger or crippled midge. Great for fishing in a ripple. In smaller sizes I also suggest a quill body with a lightly dubbed thorax. They present in the water with the abdomen submerged. A more natural look for careful trout. Anything from midge, olive, to mayfly can be represented. Just match size, approximate colour and shade.

I've been tying this ever since I bought one 32 years ago. Parachute flies just work. Even in choppy water.

Omg that feather splayed out soooo neatly! Gorgeous!

Parachute Adam’s, a classic. I got the Wyoming Cutt-Slam in 5 days without switching flies, the dubbing was falling off towards the end from how many fish hit it along the journey!

Looks to be an Adam.
Though I prefer to tie without the parachute indicator so it can be fished wet on the downstream sweep. It is also a great fly on lakes and ponds in sizes 8 & 10. For Blue Gill and Bass.

Never did I think that this would be so satisfying to watch

The standard Adams is just about the only dry fly I use, haven’t found a fish it won’t catch yet.

[bunnybomb]

Look I dont even fish or know the first thing about it, but you make it still quite interesting

[obanxMolly]

I dont fish, I have no idea why youtube recommended your videos to me, but here I am. And I want to see more lol

I've always been interested in fly fishing and tying flies, had someone give me an entire box of materials for fly tying. Now I need to go back to Kentucky and find that box because you have resparked my interest. I should probably learn how to fly fish at some point as well....

Here in Scotland, we just call this the Coachman. Can be deadly at times.

[PenDragonsPig-Jam_on_Top]

Why does it need the post to be so tall?

[James-ysdd]

Nothing better than a catch on a dry fly!

[dusanivanovic]

What dubbing do you use mate? love that mottled look!
