Chuck,
I don't know about an Adams, but a fella on the other list
uses a 'White Spider' in Florida for 'gills and the occasional bass
all the time. This is a top water fly - marabou tail, 1/2 cirlce of
2mm foam and rubber legs on a 10/12 nymph hook. I'll find the
pattern if you're interested.

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
