The Adams Family |
This fly was born on
Fishing Creek in Central Pennsylvania. It was originally tied as a March Brown pattern during the early spring, and just plain old put fish in the net.
Inspired by the origins of the venerable Adams dry fly, it sits with an
irresistible footprint on those large flat tail-outs. The Adams Family has
proven its worth bringing fish to the surface consistently when no hatch is on
the water making it one of my favorite attractor patterns, yet as expected fishes excellent over the March Brown hatch.
