Adams (dry fly)

So, you know how sometimes when you go outside you might see little bugs flying around, right? Okay, well some people like to pretend to be those bugs when they go fishing.

One kind of bug that fish like to eat is called the mayfly, and the Adams dry fly is a fake mayfly that fishermen use to catch fish.

The Adams dry fly looks a lot like a mayfly, with little wings and a skinny body. When a fish sees it floating on top of the water, they might think it's a real mayfly and try to eat it.

Fishermen use special fishing poles with long lines and hooks attached to try to catch the fish that are tricked by the fake bug.

So basically, the Adams dry fly is something that looks like a bug and helps fishermen catch fish.
