Size
The Adams Irresistible Dry Fly is a robust and effective attractor pattern built on the foundation of the classic Adams fly. Unlike its more delicate cousin, the Irresistible variation uses spun and clipped deer hair for the body instead of traditional dubbing and hackle wraps. This change makes the fly incredibly durable and exceedingly buoyant, ensuring it floats high and proud through the roughest water imaginable. It’s an essential general-purpose pattern designed to suggest a wide range of large insects and draw aggressive strikes from opportunistic trout.

Product Features
  • Durable Hair Body: The tightly packed and clipped deer hair body makes this fly nearly unsinkable and tough enough to withstand dozens of fish.
  • Versatile Attractor: The classic gray/grizzly color profile suggests a general "buggy" appearance, mimicking large mayflies, small stoneflies, and caddis, making it effective almost anywhere.
  • Extreme Buoyancy: Floats like a cork, making it perfect for fast-moving rivers, pocket water, and choppy lake surfaces where visibility and floatation are key.
  • High Visibility: The mix of grizzly and brown hackle and calf tail wings provide excellent visibility for the angler, even in turbulent water.
  • Barbed Hook: Tied on a premium, sharp barbed hook for confident and secure hook-ups.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in the essential sizes #14 and #16, perfect for matching a general range of medium-to-large insects.

When to Use the Adams Irresistible Dry Fly
The Adams Irresistible shines when you need a sturdy, highly visible, and buoyant fly that can handle tough conditions.
  • Fast Water & Pocket Water: The ideal environment for this fly is high-gradient streams and rivers with turbulent currents.
  • Searching Pattern: When there is no specific hatch occurring, the Irresistible is a top choice for covering water and actively looking for fish.
  • High-Country & Mountain Streams: A classic pattern for Western US and high-altitude streams where a durable, high-floating fly is often necessary.
  • Dry-Dropper Rig: Works as a great, buoyant top fly to use as an indicator when fishing a weighted nymph below it.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
