fly patterns

Yeah, I read that too. According to their list, it looks like virtually
every combination of materials generating what most folks consider to be a
"dry fly" is in fact an Adams. I bet they get more than a few letters
concerning that one.

I don't think I'll take that bet!

Jim Ray, who now wonders excactly what defines an Adams

Don't know about an Adams, Jim, but I can assure you that if you tie a
fly with a gray body, grizzly wings, and hackle of grizzly and brown,
you can call it a Royal Coachman.

Why not! I learned in algebra class that if A=B, then B=A.

Thanks for the links: I can refer to them when I want to see what the
ugly-balls-of-fluff-on-hooks that I'm currently creating are *supposed* to
look like!

(sigh) Maybe someday....

Cheers!
