Another fly-fishing fly!

From my friend, Jake:

Adams

One of the most popular dry flies in all of trout fishing, and designed in 1922 specifically for our Boardman River by Len Halladay for his friend Judge Charles Adams. There’s even an “Adams Festival” in Kalkaska this year, I believe. Fished high on the water like any traditional dry fly.

Wings: Tips of two grizzly hackle feathers

Hackle: one grizzly hackle feather, one brown hackle feather

Body: muskrat fur

Tail: mixture of grizzly and brown hackle fibers

Thread: gray

Hook: (in this photo) #14 dry fly hook (but I tie it in #16 and #12, too. The smaller the number, the larger the hook)
