The Adams is one of those indespensible patterns that imitates

use that dry patterns more than any, and certainly have Adams tied
in more sizes than any other dry fly in my box.
I was fishing a mountain stream this past weekend that sees sparse
hatches and probably nothing like an Adams. Yet I was getting hits on
most decent drifts. It is a superb 'go to' pattern when all else
fails. It defines bugginess. On the 'Kill a friend was walking back
upstream after successfully putting down a pool of rising fish and
caught a brookie on his Adams that was dragging behind him.
It does not work at the secret spot though. Nothing does.
There's a fly that works every time, but it's a secret.
