Your videos are like fine wine. They stand the test of time and get better with age.

Applying the cement and that coffee cup tip are great for guys like myself who just started tying last week... thanks for the great video I don't know where I'd be without videos like this. You guys that do this I can't tell how grateful I am for you to share your knowledge because everything I was doing was basically opposite of what I should have been doing and it shows in the flies I'm tying my buddy who is my mentor has told me that I'm a natural but I give you guys who put out these wonderful videos all the credit. Thank you...

grew up 40 years ago fishing #16/12 Adams, wished I had the resources of the internet back then. Bought too many of those before I figured out how to tie them. Thanks for a great tutorial, and flashback.

You should start posting a material list. That would be very helpful with some of the more material friendly Flys.

Its my opinion that the Adams is the greatest single dry fly ever created, considering how effective it has been were ever there is trout to fish for!  With 14 and 16 being the most useful, but have some in 18 to 22 and a couple in 10 and 12 for searching and hopper dropper type stuff! I have one dry fly box with nothing but in it, both traditional and parachute !

Excellent video. Love the head cement trick and styrofoam cup. Great tie.

I just love to watch your fly tying videos. I have learned so much and I have made so many of your flies for myself and I can't wait to use them this spring

Excellent fly, imitates so many winged critters that it never fails to catch.

I have to agree 100%. When I was a kid back in the 1960-70's living in Connecticut my favorite go to dryfly
was a size 16 Adams. In fishing small streams and rivers, , even without a hatch, trout would strike and some days I can recall my fly got so mangled from trout and I still caught trout with it. My 2nd go to dry fly was a size 14-16 Light Cahill. Great video on tying the Adams.
