Adams Easy-to-Tie Dry Fly

The Adams is probably the most commonly used dry fly. For good reason. It imitates lots of bugs that trout like to eat—mayflies and mosquitoes being the most common. Every fly box should have an Adams in several sizes. Trout may fixate on a hatch of bugs and even if you don’t have a fly that matches the hatch exactly, an Adams in the right size will often trigger a rise. The EZEYEFLY hooks with the larger eye will make it easier to change sizes if you get the hunch that the trout is just looking for a slight change.
