Mercer's Foam Body Parachute Adams

This variation of the classic Parachute Adams features a forked tail, flashy rib and a hi-vis post. The most amazing change to the pattern is foam, wrapped at the thorax of the fly for extra flotation. This is a great fly especially as an attractor on small streams.
