I do them th esame as your first one Ben but with a superfine body in the grey, as pretty much everybody here does. Sometimes (female) has a red silk backside.
Muskrat body, hen hackle tip wings. I need to get better with my close-up pictures...
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
I like the parachute Adams better. But it's always good to tie classics.
nice pic caddis 16 . some good looking flies.
