Adams Comparadun

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

Cool. Comparadun/Sparkle dun flies have always been some of my best "fishing". Now a new to me technique.

Thanks Norm.

Excellent! But they will always be a "Haystack" to me.

I like this, I think I may tie up a few and stick a plume of CDC in the middle of the hackle just to give it that extra buoyancy.
