"One of the most popular patterns in the United States, the Adams is on fly everyone should have when fishing the West. This fly (and its variations) have led to the demise of more fish than any other I know"
Jack Dennnis
Western Trout Fly Tying Manual 1974
The above quote from Jack Dennis really does sum up just how good this pattern is and is one that should not only be included in fly boxes for the Western States but for anywhere in the world! Not to forget the different variations you can make of this pattern as well.
The inclusion of Semperfli Kapok dubbing does wonders for this pattern allowing to to float for so long.
Happy Tying Everyone
