"Adams"
species:
mayfly dun
type:
dry
sizes: #10 - 22
A traditional
dry fly pattern for imitating a common eastern mayfly subimago stage.
Often tied as a "delicate" fly, sits well in quiet water to
behave like the natural.
Fish: trout, panfish
species: mayfly dun
type: dry
sizes: #12 - 18
Adams parachutes are designed to float in the water, rather than on top. In some calmer water, this pattern can be more suggestive of the natural mayfly than the standard style. White upright wing makes it easy to see.
Fish: trout, panfish
"Blue Quill"
species: mayfly dun
type:
dry
sizes: #12 - 20
Traditional dry mayfly pattern popular in the east, but catches trout
everywhere. Body tied with quill feather. Like others this
style, does best in "softer" water (not so much current.)
Fish: trout, panfish
"Baetis Emerger"
species:
mayfly
type:
nymph
sizes: #14 - 22
The "emerger"
style is meant to
represent the short-lived stage of insect metamorphosis between nymph
& adult. It is designed to "catch the hatch" as it is in
progress. Emergers are typically designed to sit in the surface film or
just under.
Fish: trout, panfish
"Beadhead
Caddis Pupa"
species:
caddis
type:
nymph
sizes: #12 - 20
A beadhead
style nymph suggesting
a caddis pupa. Like other beadheads, also broadly accepted for a
variety of immature aquatic insects. Used in both moving and
stillwater environs.
Fish: trout, panfish
"Beadhead Crazy
Charlie"
species:
bonefish
type:
saltwater
sizes: #4 - 8
A beadhead
style "Crazy Charlie" pattern. Tied in "keel"
fashion, like most Bonefish flies. Designed to suggest small,
bottom-dwelling shrimp. Excellent general purpose fly for a variety
of flats fishing situations.
Fish: bonefish
