These Adams dry flies match the hatch well in the mountain streams. The parachute hackle gives a natural flash on the water. I’ve used them for several days and the trout have been actively feeding. The hook size 18 is just right for the water conditions.

Good quality flies that look authentic. I caught a few trout on the first day of use. The gray body and white tail stand out well in the sun. A bit more variation in color would be nice, but overall very satisfying.

The hand-tied construction is evident in the detail. I used them in a tailwater and saw several trout take the flies. The pattern is classic and works well in both morning and afternoon light.
