“I’ve been tying flies since 1917. I haven’t caught a fish on a baited hook for the last 35 years. I use the fly only.â€
— Len Halladay
Where I come from, we never used Golden Pheasant tippet fibers for the tail, only mixed hackle.
Adams Pattern:
Tail: Grizzly and brown hackle fibers mixed.
Body: Dark gray fur dubbing.
Wing: Grizzly hackle tips.
Hackle: Brown and Grizzly mixed.
T. Shaw
With apologies to J. M. Barrie, God gave us memory that we might have trout in January.
Confession: I do not fly fish any more.
