Appreciate the Catskill tie but........
Ben,
While I have a deep appreciation for the Catskill dry fly from an historical perspective, I now tie Adams parachutes almost exclusively. From the perspective of tying speed, durability and attractiveness to fish, the Adams parachute is hard to beat. I also like the fact that hackle quality and hackle size is not so critical on the parachute version. Just my 2% of a dollar; I'm sure others will disagree, they always do! 8T :)
