You might try upsizing to a size 4 and tying a few to try during a hex hatch. I
had a friend that found a size 4 adams worked on Town Lake a few years ago
during a hex hatch.

Just trying to help.

Wow, tying a #4 *anything* would be a treat after 28 of those #16's.
:-) I've been tying parachute Adams for visibility, but even I
probably could manage to see a #4 Adams.

So, anyone want to have a flyswap that's nothing but oversize
versions of classic dries? ;-)
