I have been fishing the same spot near our house nearly every dawn and dusk for a few weeks now.
Lately, the larger fish are taking my fly and a piece of tippet every outing.
Tuesday night, I lost my favorite no. 14 parachute adams. I have been thinking about that ever since, and tonight I solved this situation in a non-purist manner. I tied 6 lb. monofilament only as my 8 foot leader. Those larger fish all made it to shore for my viewing tonight!
I want to try one of these patterns in a few weeks -
