Adams EXT
An enhanced take on the classic Adams, this pattern retains the proven effectiveness of the original while adding a more realistic profile. The extended body and splayed wings closely mimic a mayfly dun, offering a lifelike silhouette that sits naturally on the surface. A go-t0 fly when trout are feeding on mayflies and keying in on subtle details. Best time to fish: Spring through late Fall, especially during active mayfly hatches.

Presentation
Often fished alone in a Dry Fly Rig or used as a highly visible lead fly in a Dry Dropper setup, making it easier to track smaller trailing patterns during a hatch.
Commonly fished as the lead fly in a Double Dry setup, paired with a smaller, less visible dry fly as the dropper. Its high visibility makes it an excellent indicator, helping you track subtle takes on the trailing fly.
This dry fly is often fished as the lead fly in a Dry Dropper Emerger rig, paired with a smaller, less visible emerger as the dropper. Its high visibility acts as a strike indicator while keeping the emerger suspended just below the surface - ideal for targeting trout feeding near the top of the water column.
This highly visible dry fly serves as a strike indicator while allowing the nymph to hang higher in the water column - an ideal setup for targeting trout feeding just below the surface.
