The Adams, without a doubt, is one of the most popular dry flies ever invented and it is believed a size 16 might be the best selling size.
The best tip I can give you with this fly is mix and match the colors and sizes to match the mayflies in your area for your season. For however many you tie, tie half to match the color and size of the mayfly you’re imitating and the other half in a size smaller and in grey. Then fish both flies in tandem (2-fly dry fly rig) and if they refuse the more imitative color, they’ll often take the grey. This is because there are often more than one mayfly hatches happening during spring and summer months and the grey “search” version of this fly helps imitate the variety, while the exact color you tied imitates what you expect on the water.
It’s covering both bases with ease all under the same pattern.
