Default Adams by Da

Today, I tied the classic fly pattern adams.
Here is the picture http://picasaweb.google.com/Dan.versacorp.cn/Adams
Hook: Mustad 539 12# (same as Dai-Riki 320 12#)
Thread: grey
Wing: grey hackle tips tied over the body
Tail: grey and brown hackle barbs
Hackle: grey and brown

This one is the eighth adams I tied today. I have found the wing is a
little longer. I have tried my best to use the smallest rooster neck
feather. Could you guys tell me any other things I should pay
attention to? Thanks


I'm not a very accomplished tier and my Adams looks a great deal like your.

However, it catches trout just like most all of the flyz I have tied.

If your interest is in impressing fly tiers, you'll tie flyz to
specifications. If your interest is in catching trout or other fish, you'll
keep on tying what works for you.
