Adams Tutorial

Hook: Size 10-20
Hackle: Brown and Grizzley
Tail: Microfibbets(brown or clear)
Body: Tan Dubbing
Thread: 8/0 Brown Uni-Thread


First, Take FOUR micro fibbets, split them into two.



Use a small amount of dubbing and create a tapered body.



Tie in the base of the hackles. DO NOT TIE IN BY THE TIPS, this creates a POOR look. Use a small amount of dubbing for a base which you will wrap the hackle over. Wrap one hackle at a time. Lash down each hackle.



Add another small amount of dubbing. And whip finish.



If you wish to have a fly which rides more flush with the surface, trim out a small v on the underside.



The adams is an all purpose searching fly, when you cant match the hatch exactly or there isnt a hatch, grab an adams.
