Tying (and fishing) a Parachute Adams Dry Fly
The parachute style of dry flies was created in 1931 by Helen Todd who tied for the Alexander Martin Fishing Company in Scotland. The style's effectiveness can largely be attributed to the body of the fly riding in the surface film with the outspread hackle keeping it afloat.
Hook: #12-22 dry fly
Thread: Any color, or to match the body
Tail: Hackle fibers
Body: Adams gray dubbing (for an Adams)
Post: White calftail (or synthetic)
Hackle: Brown and grizzly (for an Adams)

Great Fly Tutorial Matt, I’ve already watched this one three times. Your added footage fishing was just as enjoyable for me. Mega Thx.
Nice to see you fish what you tie! Always enjoy
Hi from Rolla Missouri 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes.
Nice Pattern, thanks for the example tie Matt. I like the fishing afterward. Thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks again for another great video, that was an excellent instructional on tying parachute posts. I also enjoyed those good looking fish on a beautiful evening. Keep the videos coming thanks
Great to see you out enjoying the great outdoors Matt! Have a good summer and get more video when you can!
Good morning Matt☕️☕️
I really enjoy your tying instruction and especially the background and commentary that goes with it. You are a treasure to the fly tying community. Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing Matt, another nice fly. Have a blessed my friend.
Love seeing your local waters. Keep it going!
Thanks Matt. I will need to work on my parachute skills. They pretty much suck. I'm liking the extra footage of you fishing. Have a great weekend!!
Nice , classic pattern still extremely effective;and nice you presented it.
Beautiful spot of water there. Is watch with or without the extra footage but I'm enjoying seeing your local river haunts. For me fishing is just as much about the peaceful locations I discover along the way as it is the activity of stalking and catching fish. ☺️
Awesome video Matt. Mega Thx for the fishing bit on the end !!!
