Caps Hair Wing SBS

An Adams Hair Wing from Wisconsin tyer Ed Haaga. Used elk for the tail/body to keep flair to a minimum; also tied it a bit bushier than the original since most of the little blue lines I plan to fish are still moving along pretty well.

Silvercreek was nice enough to pass on this link of Mr. Haaga tying/ discussing the fly
