I really like your tie. Ann Schweigert told me to use muskrat dubbing for the body and a cree for the hackle so that's what I do. When Ann talked, people listened because Jack usually monopolized the conversation. Ah the days.

I use muskrat dubbing for the body but wow if that's how the original looked those wings are WAY in front of the hackle. I use muskrat dubbing for mine. Mcsteff I've tried the cree hackle in place of the brown and grizzly and while a nice looking fly I stick with the brown and grizzly.

I like it.

Goes to show that just because a fly isn't exactly "to the recipe" doesn't mean it isn't a particular fly. How many people would cry "that's not an adams! its a variation!" without the back story?

Normand,
Great photos!
Could you post your setup for your camera ? I think we would all like to get great results like that. Perhaps a photo of your setup would be nice.
Thanks....

Norm....Great tie! Well done for sure. Always neat to see examples of how much particular patterns have changed over time.

Your setup for picks is very similar to mine except I only have a desktip tripod. Funny part is I also have a Nikon D40 camera and love it, but don't have a macro for it yet. Have you experimented with yours on macro shots at all?

I always tied with brown/grizzly, until a got my hands on an excellent Cree neck. I will continue to use it instead as long as I have a good supply. Much preferred.

Very nice............................
I have a Canon PowerShot A710IS, it takes great general shots, but the 'macro' mode is a little difficult to use in this case! I will work with the 2 light setup and my tripod ( which I never used).
Thanks.

Great tie! I always wondered what the original Adams looked like. Thanks for satisfying my curiousity.
