A natural, confidence dry for mixed mayfly activity with a subtle trigger. The Female Adams keeps the classic Adams silhouette—gray/brown body, upright dun wings, and grizzly/brown hackle—but adds a small yellow egg-sac at the tail that turns lookers into eaters during evening flights.
-
When it excels: Spring through fall during mixed mayfly hatches and evening egg-laying; gentle riffles, seams, and glassy tailouts
-
Why it works: Adams colorway matches many mayflies; the tiny yellow egg-sac adds a lifelike cue while the hackle keeps the fly riding high for clean drifts
-
Pack size: 3 flies
-
Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
-
Ready to fish: Durable, sparse tie with consistent proportions for reliable presentations
How to fish it
Run a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and make reach or slack-line casts to feed the drift; target soft seams and rise rings. Near dusk, add subtle micro-twitches to mimic egg-laying passes or switch to a rusty spinner if fish key on spent wings.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Dress wings/hackle lightly with gel/paste; revive after a dunk or fish with a powder/shake desiccant.
