Adams Parachute

The Adams Parachute is a popular fly-fishing pattern. It belongs to the Adams family - named after angler Charles Adams, for whom fly tyer Leonard Halladay first tied the pattern in 1922 - and is a classic dry fly known worldwide for its effectiveness.

The Adams Parachute imitates a variety of insects, mayflies in particular, and is commonly used for trout and grayling fishing. It's distinguished by its characteristic design, in which the hackle is wound horizontally around a post-like material known as a "parachute". This parachute design offers several advantages: it improves visibility on the water, making it easier for the angler to track the fly, and the upright post helps the fly float well on the surface, allowing for a natural presentation.

The Adams Parachute is available in various sizes to suit different conditions and insect species. It's commonly used in clear water and during insect hatches. This fly is a proven and reliable pattern found in many fly boxes, and has proven highly effective over the years - a must-have for any fly fisher chasing success on the water.

Fair Trade, Full Circle

Your flies are tied fairly, with the best materials, on a barbless hook. "Fliegenfischen mit Herz" is building a base for women in Nairobi. The women there own and run the tying workshop themselves, giving them economic independence, pride in their craft, and joy in their customers. Let's work together toward a more balanced world.
