The Parachute Adams was designed to imitate the adult stage of a variety of different aquatic born insects and has proven itself to be a fish catcher around the world. When presenting dry flies to trout you want the most realistic looking fly pattern possible, however having one that is visible in the water makes a full day of long fishing a lot easier. That is why the Parachute Adams fits the mold perfectly. Derived from the original adams fly, the Parachute Adams takes the realistic fish catching machine and adds a white(typically) stack of synthetic on the back to help aid with visibility. The Adams Parachute dry fly can effectively imitate the adult stage of mayflies, midges and can even imitate caddis when that is the trout's primary food source.

 How to Fish the Parachute Adams Fly

The Parachute Adams fly can be fished a couple different ways, the most common as a single dry. This is the easiest and simplest way to fish any sort of dry and can be very effective.

 Fishing a Parachute Adams Fly as a Double Dry Rig

The next technique that can be used to fish the Parachute Adams is a double dry rig. This is how I fish them most often; it involves having a bigger dry that is easily visible (i.e. parachute adams size 10) as my “sighting” fly and six to ten inches behind it have another significantly smaller dry tied on (i.e. Parachute Adams 16 and smaller). What this setup allows us as an angler to do is present those fish with two different sizes of the Parachute Adams fly (or two fly options if you choose to fish different patterns). Additionally, it also allows us to watch our small dry fly and fish it effectively even if we can't physically see it. If a trout rises in a 6-10 inch radius around your larger fly then set the hook. They might not be eating the sighting fly but you know your small fly is right behind it and that is often the bug that the fish decide to commit to. Lastly you can use a big Parachute Adams fly as a light dry/dropper rig, this technique is effective because you can cover two different columns of water at the same time and present those fish with a dry and a nymph fly at the same time. When using a Parachute Adams fly pattern as a dry dropper fly, it is important to know the float to weight ratio as you don't want to sink your dry fly with a heavy nymph. All together the Adams Parachute dry fly pattern is a staple fly that should have a place in the flybox of every trout angler across the states and even across the globe as it has proved to be an extremely reliable pattern. So next time you're looking at a box full of dries go ahead and give that Parachute Adams a go, it might just land your next trophy!
