[dc410]

Kim’s Pear Tree Swap reminded me of this Holy Grail caddis that kinda looks like it might have swallowed a tungsten pear.

That’s a great tie, John. I would expect to see you registered for the next swap! 😉

Parachute Adams in size #16 are my favorite dry fly. I also tie a few #14s and #18s. I vary the way I tie some of them, and for good measure I might throw in some Purple Haze.

I might have enough material left to tie a few more Parachute Adam’s when these flies are gone, including my supply of grizzly hackle. (One Hoffman Platinum grade saddle, for example, might be good for 500 dozen.) One memorable evening on the Yellowstone River I caught 30 trout in I hour using just one Parachute Adam’s. I wonder how many fish you could catch on 500 dozen dozen of them?

Simple fly that works…
