Klinkhammers are different from many other parachute dry flies in that the thorax of the fly is designed to hang down ‘through’ the surface of the water to imitate an emerging insect.
The Parachute fly comes to rest gently ‘in’ the surface film, giving it a superb appearance imitating the natural insects and creating a wonderfully eye catching silhouette as well.

Hans Van Klinken, the Dutch creater of the Klinkhammer, also fished many of the rivers in Scandinavia as well as in his native Holland. His mentor was a Swedish fly fisher, Kenneth Bostrom who had created a fly called the Rackelhammer to imitate hatching sedge. It floated when cast upstream but Hans found if it was tweaked, to suggest life, it sank. Hans adapted the idea and made a fly that still floated after it had been tweaked. It became known as the 'Klinkhammer Special' . At first he bent the hook of a parachute fly so that the abdomen would sink below the surface and the thorax would float. Later he developed a special hook that did the same but imitated the curved body angle of the insect as it hangs below the surface just as it starts to emerge. This is what makes it different from a regular parachute dry fly. The abdomen serves as a primary trigger, penetrating the surface film and getting noticed by trout from a great distance, well before they pick up on the above surface footprint features.
Parachute Adams

This is brilliant variation of the Adams dry fly and is preferred by many anglers to the traditional Adams.; and fast becoming a modern classic.
The fly can be fished static or on a varied retrieve via a floating line.
It is often the best searching pattern when no surface activity is evident.
My favourite it to cast to a rising trout or cast upstream into a feed channel.

My favourite it to cast to a rising trout or cast upstream into a feed channel.
However, it is often a good searching pattern when no surface activity is evident.
