Adams

Hook: Mustad Dry Fly Size 12
Thread: 8/0 Olive Dun
Tail: Barred Dun Hackle Fibers
Body: Hare's Ear Dubbing
Rib: Small Copper Wire
Wings: 2 Grizzly Hackle Tips
Hackles: Barred Dun and Grizzly


Take a few Dun hackles fibers, measure the length of the hook and tie in for the tail.

Tie in small copper wire.

Tie in 2 grizzly hackle tips for the wings.

Dub hare's ear onto thread or form a dubbing loop.

Wrap dubbing forward to form the body.

Wrap wire forward to rib the fly.

Tie in a dun and grizzly hackle by the butt.

Wrap in both hackles, one at a time, to fill in the legs of the fly.

The finished Adams is one of the best dry fly patterns you will ever fish!
