Fly of the Month: February 2024

Parachute Adams

A simple, easy to tie yet effective dry fly. Very useful as summer progresses. Many trout at this time ignore high floating dries, preferring insects trapped in the surface film. Snipping the hackle at the bottom of a standard dry can also achieve a lower-floating dry fly.
