I could see trying to wear those out on a good day in skinny water. Great looking flys!

Great looking flies! Especially after three fifths of Knob Creek and two fifths of Scotch.

I was financially stable until I started tying flies.

I need to concentrate on learning to tie an Adams now. I think that`s the name?

When I went from salt water and bass flies to mountain trout flies, I really struggled with the size difference and getting the proportions correct. I’m still not where I need to be

Great all-around fly. The female Adams is even better (standard Adams with a pale yellow "egg case" right in front of the tail.) The parachute versions work well, too.

What's the name of that yaller-eyed shrimpy looking pattern in front? I bet smallmouth bass and brown trout would eat that, too.

It doesn`t have a name that I know of. The tail on the left one is barred feather, and the right one has pseudo-hair that I barred with a Magic Marker.

Tying in the grizzly wings on the Adams is the trickiest part of the tie. I agree with NC about the parachute version. Not only is it easier to tie than the original, no hackle tips to tie in as wings; it's deadly. Gil
