Thank you very much for the demonstration. I look forward to tying it myself. I would like to ask that you include some info like hook and thread descriptions.
You know I learned a trick to get the hackle to stand straight up. After tying in the wing, instead of cutting off the waste right away, pull the stem to the back of the fly towards the hook and the feather will stand at attention. A couple of wraps to secure and cut the waste off under the hook. Works for me every time. With the addition of a little brown this would look strangely like a traditional adams. All the best, Sean

I will try that👍🏽 thank you
i love this pattern. i tied some and they work good for the Panfish in my area :)
Nice. Stupidly simple so I can actually tie one!Ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing
👍 Only thing I'd do differently would be Coq de leon for the tail. That's just me. 😉
Thanks
What brand/grade hackle do you use to tie? Thanks,
Daniel
Do u know if these work for trout by chance?
I use them during trout season here. Between them and royal wulff, they catch most of my trout
