I have been experimenting with some different wing materials for Adams dry flies and was wondering what you guys have used or tried
Ed Van Put is THE adams master. Read about how he ties them here: https://www.thefloatingfly.com/ed-van-put
Try using tan/light brown for the body color. It's better than gray, IMHO, because more aquatic insects have a tan body than a gray body.I know it wouldn't be a true Adams anymore but;I have never been one to strictly adhere to a pattern. I always like to experiment and see the results and I was recently at an event and one of the demonstrations was an Adams with a woodcock colored mallard flank feather for a wing and it turned out pretty nice. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried any other variations
I'm going to try to tie a wally wing Adams. A little extra work, but they look great >I have been experimenting with some different wing materials for Adams dry flies and was wondering what you guys have used or tried
