Comment: |
Like the
standard Adams the parachute is a very good dry fly. The parachute style
sits lower on the water making it more natural looking and the white post makes
it more visible |

Instructions: |
-
First wrap the hook shank with tying thread, tie in
the tail and then the post
-
Return the tread to the tail to add the fur dubbing
tapering it forward to shape the body as far forward as the post.
-
Add a spot of glue to the base of the post then
immediately tie in the hackle, and wrap around the post, then tie the end
in and clip off, add a little dubbing to the thread to finish in front of
the post, then whip finish and add a spot of glue to the head
