Charles Manning –
I’ve used the Adams Trude on several trout streams and it caught fish during a caddis hatch. The Trude detail makes it look more natural and it floats well.
Simon Berry –
Great for small stonefly hatches. The fly holds up well in the current and I noticed better strikes compared to standard Adams.
Alexander Martin –
Fished it during a slate drake hatch and had two takes. The presentation is smooth and the pattern matches the insects well.
