Reinventing Tradition: Rio Split Flag - Adams
A New Generation of Parachute Performance
The Rio Split Flag - Adams pays homage to the iconic Parachute Adams while embracing a modern edge designed for today's technical trout fishing. Blending tradition with innovation, this pattern features Quigley’s unique stacked hackle system, giving it the buoyancy of a classic parachute with the stealth profile of a low-rider emerger.
Its forward-facing wing not only enhances visibility but mimics a mayfly trapped mid-transition—striking a lifelike pose that resonates with picky surface feeders. Whether fish are keying on emergers or duns, the Split Flag Adams is your versatile answer for challenging dry fly scenarios.
