The Parachute Adams Tri-Colour Dry Fly is a highly visible indicator imitation, created to improve fly tracking in difficult light and moving water. While maintaining the proven silhouette and balanced parachute design of the original, this version incorporates a bold tri colour wing post in yellow, red and chartreuse for maximum visibility.
Designed as a general surface imitation with indicator, it represents a range of flies that sit in the surface film. The parachute hackle allows the fly to rest low and naturally on the water, while the bright post ensures the angler can follow the drift clearly across glare, ripple or distance. This makes it particularly effective on larger rivers, breezy stillwaters or broken current.
Its combination of classic profile and enhanced visibility makes it an excellent searching dry fly when trout are rising intermittently or feeding opportunistically.
Please note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.
