During the spring gill spawn, I usually use slowly sinking flies. Just before that, when insects are hatching, and just after when they are still hatching, i find that dry flies work well. But most of the time I go back to my old reliable slowly sinking gill getters...

Does anybody know if the Adams fly is good for Bluegills (or other brim species) during the Spring spawn??? I say that time of the year, because the rest of the year I usually use wet flies.. Or, are they are good in another time of the year ???? Around here, it just seems that the Spring, and Early Summer are about the only times the Gills surface feed. I JUST now got to where I can tie an Adams. I know it is one of the most tied flies in the world, but getting the wings the right length, and in the right place on the shank, and at the correct angle. Then, when I'd wrap the twin hackles, I'd always get those tangled up, or run out of room on the #12 and #14 hooks I am tying them on. But I FINALLY got to where I can tie them to at least LOOK like an Adams...Also, was this a hard fly to learn for anybody else??? Thanks, Chuck
