The Adams Ext Body Dun is a refined variation of the classic Adams pattern, tied to provide a more realistic profile of mayfly duns on the water. Its extended body gives the fly a slimmer, elongated appearance that better matches the natural mayfly silhouette, making it especially effective when trout are selective during heavy hatches.
This fly features a slender gray extended abdomen, upright wings, and a balanced hackle that allows it to sit flush in the surface film. The parachute-style hackle provides excellent floatation, while the extended body creates the impression of delicate mayfly tails and abdomen. Together, these design elements deliver both visibility for the angler and realism for the trout.
The Adams Ext Body Dun is particularly productive during spring and fall mayfly hatches, including Blue Wing Olives and similar species. Fished with a drag-free drift on fine tippet, it excels in clear water, spring creeks, and tailwaters where trout scrutinize every detail. This pattern is a must-have for anglers seeking a technical, high-performance dry fly that can fool the most discerning fish.
