Re: Adams Irresistible
#2Very nice Norm.
I'm assuming you do the tail and shape the body before adding the wings?
Adding the wings and hackle, butts towards the eye?
I'm asking because I can't picture me trying to shape the body with the wings and hackle tied on, even if they weren't in position.
I can see doing it like the way AK shows doing dries in his books (tail, body, then wings then hackle).

#3If I were a trout, I'd be throwing myself all over that. Very tasty.
Thanks for sharing,

#7Same here. And tying them on a leader? Heck no.
I applaud people that do stuff like tying size 32 royal wulffs just because they can, but I stick to what I fish and I tap out at about 18s.
