This is my new adams pattern. Here is the picture link
http://www.versacorp.cn/picImg/Adams-Big.jpg . Wish the pattern could bring some encouragements but not teasing. Hook: 539 8# Thread: black Wings: grizzly hackle tips tied over the body Tail: grizzly hackle barbs Body: lavender floss Hackle: grizzly hackle tip Maybe the hook I use is a little bigger. I saw most of other tie with 10-16 hooks. But I think the 10-16 hooks are very small. So what are you comments? |

The fly is not tied true to the accepted pattern, the proportions are wrong, and it should be tied in sizes 10 to 20. Other than that, it's perfect. |

Should I follow the proportions as follows: Wing: equal to the length of the hook shank Hackle: equal to the length of the body Head: equal to the length of the hook eye Body: equal to the length of the hook shank, less the head Tail: equal to one and one-half times the length of the body. And the hook should be in sizes 10 to 20 to make it more like a real adams. Is that right? |

And don't forget the key proportion of 1 lb./.5 kg of carpet tacks per 1 lb/.5 kg of silicone caulking... And the hook should be in sizes 10 to 20 to make it more like a real adams. Is that right? No, of course it isn't. George was just making a lame attempt at punking you when he said "it should be tied in sizes 10 to 20"...and by-the-by, shouldn't you be plinking on your ruan or something... Sheesh, Wai Guo R |
