The OG adams tying video .
Idk why but these work so good 😮
Applying the cement and that coffee cup tip are great for guys like myself who just started tying last week... thanks for the great video I don't know where I'd be without videos like this. You guys that do this I can't tell how grateful I am for you to share your knowledge because everything I was doing was basically opposite of what I should have been doing and it shows in the flies I'm tying my buddy who is my mentor has told me that I'm a natural but I give you guys who put out these wonderful videos all the credit. Thank you...
grew up 40 years ago fishing #16/12 Adams, wished I had the resources of the internet back then. Bought too many of those before I figured out how to tie them. Thanks for a great tutorial, and flashback.
Your videos are like fine wine. They stand the test of time and get better with age.
I just love to watch your fly tying videos and your voice.
I have to agree 100%. When I was a kid back in the 1960-70's living in Connecticut my favorite go to dryfly
was a size 16 Adams. In fishing small streams and rivers,,even without a hatch, trout would strike and some days I can recall my fly got so mangled from trout and I still caught trout with it. My 2nd go to dry fly was a size 14-16 Light Cahill. Great video on tying the Adams.
Its my opinion that the Adams is the greatest single dry fly ever created, considering how effective it has been were ever there is trout to fish for! With 14 and 16 being the most useful, but have some in 18 to 22 and a couple in 10 and 12 for searching and hopper dropper type stuff! I have one dry fly box with nothing but in it, both traditional and parachute !
As always, nice job tying that fly, Tim. Joe.
The cup!!!!! Makes my ‘slab’ of styrofoam look stupid!!!! 👍 Best fly tying channel I’ve found.
That's got to be the hardest dry fly to tye in the world amazing tying
Excellent video. Love the head cement trick and styrofoam cup. Great tie.
An excellent video, can't say anymore than that. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I just love to watch your fly tying videos. I have learned so much and I have made so many of your flies for myself and I can't wait to use them this spring
Very nice fly, good Tips and perfect Demo, thanks.
Excellent fly, imitates so many winged critters that it never fails to catch.
I generally like to have both hackles with the dull, back, concave side facing forward. That said, hackles can be fickle things, so whatever way you can get them wound around the hook with most of the fibers in a roughly vertical plane, is the way to go. I know the fish don't really care.
Your presentations are so good. You make it look simple. Thanks
The Adams and the Royal Wulff is all I need. Love your videos
Excellent video. Very well done. One of my favorite flies to tie.
Thank you for that video. I like the tip for getting the hackle to lie properly
Styrofoam cup got me to subscribe! Awesome video thanks for the share
thankyou for posting this video its very easy to understand and you have made this fly really easy to tie compared to other videos please keep up the great work!!!
Easily the best dry fly in my box
I learned a lot of tips from you just on that one fly. Thanks!
The master! love your videos, tying, tips and commentary, long may it continue.
definitely - best adams video on youtube...
The foam cup thing was cool
Thank you!
some VERY good tips here ,Thanks!!
Clean mate👌 perfect
Fantastic video, picked up a few tips in this tutorial thanks
Styrofoam cup is genius
Great tips! Thanks for the vid!
Nice wee fly👍🏻
Awesome Video..
Marvelously Done... A+
One Handsome fly.
Gorgeous
nice Adams
Awesome!
I caught 3 fish within 20 mins when I put this fly on
Okay. Thank you.
this fly works just as good with 1 hackle feather and that's it no extra wings or colors, 3 feathers is excessive for me.
One quick question. Is the hackles tied in spoon style or is one facing the other direction?
How can I get better at tying these flies? I'd love a teacher, and you guys are the closest thing I can get to one. I just can't seem to tie dry flies well. Parachutes seem to be the hardest.
The Tricky Outdoorsman. I found it easy when tying that it's all in the mind. I've never tied a fly in my younger days till last year and i'm 38 now. I went to cabelas and bought me a tying kit. I went home watched a few videos and I have been tying flies on a daily basis. Set your mind and let it roam free. It's only hard if you feed negative thoughts to your mind
The key is don't get frustrated with the first dozen bad ones. Just tie them and put them to the test. After hours of enjoyment on the vice, they will start coming out better and better. Hackles are the most painful part, but once you get a hang of it, they are fun to make.
maybe you will make video about Grey Duster?
or it just adams without wings :)
👍👍
If I was only allowed to use 2 dry flies, it would be a purple parachute size 14, and a size 16 Adam's.
Very nice do u ever bring up the 2 hackle together or does the size off the fly stop you doing that
What hackle are you using for the wings? The tips are nicely rounded, but almost all my dry fly hackle have very pointed tips. Thanks!
That's funny you should ask that Rick. This video was shot about 8 years but if you look at the video I just did on grizzly and brown hackle you will see the same type of wing. Unfortunately I'm down to just a few of those wonderfully round tip feathers. They come from a grizzly neck that's got to be 30 years old and I've never found another like it. Everything nowadays seems to have super pointy tips. I'm not even sure if the neck is from a hen or rooster.
Thank you for the reply. Ha! So much for modern progress! So now that becomes a unique attribute that I'll need to watch for. Love your videos! Truly have learned so much from your offerings.
Your response inspired me to look at a couple capes I knew were rather old and behold, rounded tips! It’s a natural badger cape, but it’ll work for a number of dry fly patterns. Thanks for the guidance!
Are you tying with saddle or neck hackle/ cape
what thread are you using
Do you ever tie them without the wings
We tie without wings and tails at times and catch more. Tails especially.
I love fly fishing. But a cannot make my own flys they either fall apart on the second cast or the material doesn’t sit right on the hook and it doesn’t look right.
stick with it so did mine at first ,go to a fishing show many states have them winter months pick someones brains AND find out if there are fly tying clubs in your area
Have you tried the whiting hebert pro grade rooster capes
No, love the Hebert line of necks though. I do have a couple of Whiting midge sized capes which are really nice for small flies, but like I said before, very dense. Their Pro Grade stuff is excellent quality for the price but can be hard to get at times.
would it be alright to use utc 70 Denier thread on any sort of traditional dry (or parachute)? just wondering because danville thread is something i have yet to find. Thank you!
should be fine. UTC 70 is a little lighter (thinner) than 6/0 Danville, but should work no problem
+bnelsonmedia thank you very much!
sure thing, some places also call 6/0 Danville Flymaster 6/0. Bass Pro carries is, but they are a little pricy on all of their fly tying stuff.
What hackle do you use for your dry flies?
Primarily Whiting.
But saddles or capes?
Capes for the most part. The barbules on many high quality saddle hackles have gotten a little too stiff and heavy for me. I also prefer naturally colored necks rather than dyed when possible.
whats the hook size
fly fishing size 16.
ah ok thanks
whys your hackle about four feet long? couldn't do the fly because mine is 3 cm. to all the peeps that said this guy is good, your off your rocker.
