I am getting more into dry fly tying.
Just basic patterns like Adams, Cahill, BWO, etc. Really just going to have a generic type box (for now) with bodies that are grey, light yellow, olive, brown, black, etc.
I was reading Pocket Guide to Pennsylvania Hatches. The book mentioned that parachute style dries are good for calm, clear, glassy water and hackled styled dries are good for riffles.
Would the board agree with this statement?
In other words, if I am tying an Adams fly should I tie a few parachute style and a few catskill style? Or is is just personal preference?
I really try to keep my fly boxes small (even if it means less fish caught).
What is everyone's experience (or maybe preference) as to the "style" you prefer? Not really asking about favorite colors or names of patterns. Just what is your recommended style of generic dry fly? Parachute, Catskill, Comparadun, etc.
Thanks for any suggestions.
