A crisp, easy-to-track mayfly dry that works across mixed hatches. The Hi-Vis Parachute Adams keeps the classic Adams silhouette while adding a bright, high-visibility post; the parachute hackle lets the fly ride low in the film for natural, drag-free drifts you can actually see.
-
When it excels: Spring through fall during mixed mayfly activity; overcast afternoons to evening on freestones and tailwaters
-
Why it works: Adams colorway matches many mayflies; low-riding parachute footprint looks real, and the hi-vis post makes precise mends and takes easier
-
Pack size: 3 flies
-
Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
-
Ready to fish: Sparse, durable tie with a bright post for tracking; consistent proportions for clean presentations
How to fish it
Use a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and make reach or slack-line casts to feed the drift along soft seams and rise rings. If fish inspect but refuse, drop one size or switch to an emerger before the peak, then a rusty spinner near dusk. It can carry a very small dropper in moderate water.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Dress the post and hackle lightly with gel/paste; revive after a dunk or fish with a powder/shake desiccant, keeping the abdomen mostly untreated.
