Well, Neil, you really got me inspired with that article about the Adams. Nobody writes about flies like the Adams or Pheasant Tail Nymph anymore. You have to add something sparkly or rubbery to it and call it by a different name. Then you can write an article about it!

So when I saw that this morning over the rim of my coffee mug, I enjoyed it so much it got my wheels spinning about all the ways I vary Adams flies and use them. And I realized there were a couple you had not mentioned. So I thought I'd share with your readers right quick just in case somebody might not have thought of one of them yet.

In fact, a lot of the stuff you write has a similar effect on me come to think of it. I really enjoy your column. It's one of the best "how to" spots on the worldwide fly fishing web.
