It too is the basic "when in doubt" fly for many of us over here, as well as a very good fly for matching the hatch when any one of a great long list of upwinged flies is on the menu. It's the Grey Duster. The Adams is also used over here by many anglers, especially on the Derbyshire rivers. Looking at the Grey Duster and the Adams side-by-side it would be easy to say they were both related but the Adams is the wealthier cousin with a fancier wardrobe!<br />;)<br />As ever, your pictures are excellent.
