Nice ties! Those flies look fantastic.

To echo AA's post, there's a fly that has roots in the Smokey Mountains of western NC and estern TN called the "Thunderhead" that was developed by the late Fred Hall of Bryson City, NC. I have not confirmed this, but I have read that Mr. Hall developed his Thunderhead fly before the Wulff version came on the scene. The Thunderhead is basically a Adams tied in "Wulff style". I've done a bit of looking into the dates of the flies and cannot confirm which fly was first tied...not that it is that important, because both tyers were fantastic fly tyers and fishermen.
