It is a fly from John Atherton's book The Fly and the Fish: Angling Instructions and Reminiscences by John Atherton (https://amzn.to/3K5tfP0). As I mentioned in the video on making your own dubbing I tied two of these for this video. One was with the dubbing blended by hand and the other was with the dubbing blended in the coffee grinder. I think they both turned out well. They will definitely catch fish. -- Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

It is described in chapter 3 and it is tied in layers if you go by the description in the book. I, however elected to tie the rear and front portions with tying thread and to get them to about 85% of the final size and shape and then complete the rest with three coats of black lacquer. You could use epoxy or a UV resin if you prefer. I explain in the video some issues to be concerned with if you opt to use epoxy or UV resin. This is a great sinking pattern which works well along current seams, eddies and along any bank grass where fish like to lie. -- Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

It has a wool body but a yellow Antron yarn would also work well for the Mallard. I am certain it would be a good trout fly as well as a warmwater panfish fly.

Also, it works great on saltwater species. If you are a fan of tying poppers then you will have fun at the vise with this one.

Many wet flies, including the Kingfisher, in Ray Bergman's book Trout (page 435, plate #5) show the hackle as being tied in as a throat. You can tie it in as a collar if you prefer.

I chose to do a tying video on the Liberty mostly to celebrate the 4th of July. It is a fun wet fly as wet flies go but a little more enjoyable in promoting Independence day. Often, flies are tied for reasons other then fishing and I think the Liberty is one of those flies that was tied to be more patriotic than to actually fish. Carrie Stevens also tied a number of patterns that were mostly to celebrate America rather than to be productive fish catchers. Anyway, the Liberty is a fun fly to tie if you like spending time at the vise. I am certain if you swing it you will probably catch a fish.

It is similar to the It's-A-Bug and the Kent's Stealth Bomber both of which are great panfish and bass flies. It is a simple pattern to tie and by varying the Marabou and the color of the foam body and legs you can quickly have a number of flies for many fishing situations. Productive sizes are four and six for bass and eight through twelve for panfish. Productive colors are Orange, Yellow, Chartreuse, Black, and Red.

Three ingredients and the fly is complete. It is a simple caddis pattern that casts well fishes well along the bottom or in the mid-water column. I have been unable to find any history on this fly. Most research come up as March Brown but nothing for the March Dun. It is in Ray Bergman's book - Trout (page 437, plate #5) but there is no other information on this fly in the book or in any of the other history books that I have. I assume it was tied as a caddis imitation due to the light green wool body but do not know 100%. Aside from a trout fly I think this would be great for Panfish here in the Midwest. A quick and simple fly that is great for working on your wet fly skills as well as catching fish. - - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

There is an interesting history to the Matuka and I will refer you to a video by Matt O'Neal of Savage Flies ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sws1tAd1MCE) who has wonderful explanation as to the history and what Matuka flies are today. The Matuka, like the 'Clouser Minnow', is more of a tying style than a specific fly these days. They are usually tied with a rooster hackle for the wing and tail but you will see flies tied with rabbit strips for the wing and tail in the same fashion and called Matuka flies. All in all, a wonderful streamer pattern that is time well spent at the vise and worth having a few in your fly box. -- Enjoy.

I thought it would be interesting to do a tying video on tying the Adams as Len Halladay actually tied it and compare the original to the more modern version today. I call this the Halladay Adams in order to distinguish it from the modern version that is tied today. This was a fun little side project into the history of a specific fly and being able to see it's construction as well as hear about why it was tied the way it was. According to Len Halladay's Grandson, he never changed the fly from the original version he tied over a hundred years ago and named after Dr. Adams. I guess, if it works don't fix it! The original Adams is a bit different from what we know as the Adams these days. In addition, there are many variations of the Adams that have been developed over the years and all are effective. I have two resources for those interested in learning more about the Adams, it's origins, and it's variations. First, get a copy of Mike Valla's book - The Founding Flies: 43 American Masters: Their Patterns and Influences ( https://amzn.to/3HpxxiL ). There is a wonderful chapter on the Adams and Len Halladay as well as how a number of variations came to be. You can also head over to the article by John Kreft - Adams Fly Pattern History ( https://www.johnkreft.com/adams-fly-pattern-history/ ) to learn more about the origins of the Adams. This website has three different videos that are done by the Grandson of Len Halladay and he actually takes you through tying the original in the same manner as Len Halladay. The videos are a real gem! - - Enjoy. If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

I chose to tie it because it is similar to the Bisset and a few other wet flies and because I am always interested in the history of these flies and when (and how) they came about. Since the Mascot is similar to the Bisset I can only assume they both were created around the same time and that one came before the other. Although this is not always the case, but often one pattern emerges and another comes along later as a "variant" that tries to improve on the fly. Hard to know which came first in this case but it is interesting all the same. Also I find them a joy to tie and fish. - - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

It's success is that it does not resemble any particular natural insect but can represent a great many insects. Thus, it's versatility is almost limitless. The Adams was created by Len Halladay way back in 1922 (over 100 years ago) in Mayfield Michigan. He created it at the request of a good client, Dr. Adams. Upon fishing the fly for the the first time Dr. Adams caught many fish with the fly and declared it to be "a knock out". Len Halladay decided to call it the Adams in honor of Dr. Adams. The original Adams is a bit different from what we know as the Adams these days. In addition, there are many variations of the Adams that have been developed over the years and all are effective. I have two resources for those interested in learning more about the Adams, it's origins, and it's variations. First, get a copy of Mike Valla's book - The Founding Flies: 43 American Masters: Their Patterns and Influences ( https://amzn.to/3HpxxiL ). There is a wonderful chapter on the Adams and Len Halladay as well as how a number of variations came to be. You can also head over to the article by John Kreft - Adams Fly Pattern History ( https://www.johnkreft.com/adams-fly-pattern-history/ ) to learn more about the origins of the Adams. This website has three different videos that are done by the Grandson of Len Halladay and he actually takes you through tying the original in the same manner as Len Halladay. The videos are a real gem! -- Enjoy. If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
