ADAMS PARACHUTE HI-VIZ
HOW TO TIE THE ADAMS PARACHUTE HI-VIZ DRY FLY
The Adams Dry Fly has earned a preeminent place in fly fishing history. The High Visibility Parachute Adams Dry Fly is an extremely productive variation of the Adams parachute pattern. Tired in the parachute style, the Hi-Viz Adams Parachute rides realistically low on the water, yet the brightly colored post wing is highly visible to the angler. We like to tie ours with a hot pink wing, which seems to show up at twilight best for us, but hot orange and yellow are also popular. Although it is not a specific imitation of a particular aquatic insect, its highly suggestive coloration and overall bugginess has made it one of the top dry flies since Leonard Halladay tied the original Adams in the 1920's. There are dozens if not hundreds of Adams variations out there, but the High Visibility Parachute Adams is one of the best for matching general hatches or for prospecting. An excellent lake and stillwater fly pattern, especially for those dusk to twilight rises.
