Last week I wrote about the Adams, a classic dry fly pattern that has gone through a number of alterations since its original inception but has still retained its basic characteristics. Whether tied as a parachute pattern, with or without wings, or tied with a hi-vis wing it still retains the basic characteristics of the original.
These were a fun couple of articles, Neil.
Inspired by last week’s article, a shortage, and the fishing doldrums of February, I tied up a half dozen classic Adams last week. I had already planned to add some new EHC’s to the dry caddis box this month, too.
The first fish i caught on dry flies were brookies who would jump over the royal coachman and take it on the way down. i was just a kid but i remember my excitment. the fly was like candy to them on that day
