Adams Dry Fly – Original Halladay Version

23/11/2022/i Video, Video - Flytying /af Adam Rieger

This video is my attempt at the original Adams pattern according to a few seemingly reliable sources. The first source is a book by Harold Smedley called “Fly Patterns and their Origins” and the other is post online here – www.flyanglersonline.com/features/oldflies/part127.php.
I later posted a picture of the fly in a FB group and James Slattery shared his understanding of the original with this link – www.flyanglersonline.com/articles/oldflies/2014/oldflies20140127.php?fbclid=IwAR2fKSN6oyWs_BIfnvu4xRajErb8WMAOaTqrZ6O1XvCaIzFN2Uf0u2uyeyw

This link I viewed after filming my video…but it sure looks like no hackle turns were in front of the wing!

So here is the original recipe:
Hook – dry fly 10-16
Thread – Black
Wing – grizzly roooster hackle tips tied in advance and semi spent
Body – grey wool yarn
Tail – two golden pheasant tippets
Hackle – Grizzly and Brown

Try it the original way – I am sure it will be as much of a winner as the modern variations…of which there are many!

Thanks Adam
