Quick take
A dozen dry flies and nymphs in sizes 12-20 for trout fishing in streams and rivers.
This dozen-fly Adams parachute pattern, in sizes #12 through #18, is a general trout dry fly meant to stand in for adult mayflies, caddisflies and midges. Its parachute-style hackle sits around a white calf-hair wing base, which helps the fly stay up on the water and stay easy to spot.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
