The Adams Dry Fly imitates nothing in particular but at the same time looks enough like everything to catch trout anywhere. The Adams is long-lasting, a must for the practical fly angler. On my local creeks Your fly box would simply be incomplete without a selection of Adams dries. Sizes 12 to 20 should work for any situation. The Adams matches many species of the mayfly. The classic outline is more important in most circumstances than a perfect color match, which makes it a good hatch-matcher when in doubt. At other times, when nothing obvious is happening on the surface, the Adams Dry Fly serves as a good “searching” fly, tossed behind protruding rocks at mid stream, floated through a particularly fishy looking seam, or floating beside a jutting log jam.
