snipped great TR
On a whim I had tied on a #12 Adams. And
almost immediately hooked a tiny brook trout. Another cast brought a
splashy rise and then I noticed a good sized mayfly struggling
downstream towards me. As it floated past I reached out and took the
fly from the water. It showed the mottled wings and stout body of a
Calibaetis dun. My serendipitous Adams was as good a match as any for
that particular bug and I kept my eyes peeled looking for more duns.
It proved to be the only one I saw all day.... But the Adams continued
to
take fish.

Of all the dry flies in my box, I know I've taken more fish on an Adams
than any other. It's a great "go to" fly when I'm not getting takes on
other flies. Recently, I've taken to using the parachute more than the
original tie, but either works wonders.

Very nice TR once again, George. I really enjoy the detail in your
reports - makes me feel like I'm walking along beside you.
