The Adams Spent Wing looks very realistic and catches fish well in slow-moving streams. I’ve used it during late summer and it’s been effective for callibaetis.

A solid choice for grey mayfly imitations. The wing placement is accurate and the fly floats naturally on the surface.

Great for targeting late-stage mayflies. I noticed a significant increase in strikes when using this pattern in the afternoon light.
