Adams English 《fly》
American dry fly ceated by Leonard Halladay of Michigan. It was named after Charles F. Adams from Ohio, a lawyer and Halladay's fishing friend who caught many fish, including big ones, using this fly at the Boardman River in 1922. Grizzly and brown hackle are quite effective, and it could probably be called an omnipotent dry fly because it also works as an imitation of the mayfly or chironomid. However it seems that this pattern was initially made to imitate the caddis. It is a masterpiece fly!
Adams remains a popular fly pattern until present time and many variations have been developed such as the spentwing, parachute, down wing, female, hair wing, reversed, Swedish, thorax, the upside down Adams, and more.
