Parachute Adams Dry Fly Barbless - Low Riding All Round Pattern

The Parachute Adams Dry Fly is a highly effective variation of the classic Adams pattern, designed to sit low in the surface film for a more realistic presentation. This parachute style makes it particularly effective when trout are feeding selectively on small insects.

Order Quantity 1: You receive 6 flies in your selected hook size.

Order Quantity 2: You receive 12 flies (2 packs) all in the hook size originally selected.

Order Quantity 3: You receive 18 flies (3 packs) all in the hook size originally selected.

Mixed Fly Pack: this includes 2 x hook size 12, 2 x hook size 14 and 2 x hook size 16.

Designed as a general imitation, the Parachute Adams effectively represents a wide range of mayflies, midges and other small insects. Its natural grey tones and balanced proportions create a convincing silhouette that trout readily accept.

The parachute hackle allows the fly to sit flush in the surface film, while the visible post improves tracking without affecting presentation. This makes it especially effective in clear water and calm conditions where fish are cautious.

Suitable for rivers, streams and stillwaters, the Parachute Adams Dry Fly is a dependable searching pattern when trout are feeding on the surface but not focused on a specific hatch.

All flies are supplied barbless unless otherwise stated.
