My "Throw Back Thursday" fly this week the Delaware Adams
It was 1st tied by the First Family of Catskill Fly Tiers—Walt, Winnie Dette, and today, Mary Dette—has tied flies for both anglers and collectors for decades. Those of us fortunate enough to have acquired some original Dette patterns have never known for sure which of the three tiers made the flies; that was the way they wanted it. It was kind of a “share the wealth” attitude. One of the most popular flies in their repertoire is the Delaware Adams. The “Del” is almost stately and elegant in appearance. It was tied as a variant to the Adams. It's not exactly know what the Adams was tied to Imitate.

Hare’s Ear Muddler

The 3 bags of hare’s ear Ice Dub that I’ve purchased have been uniformly awful, with chunks of the hide included, so I decided to make my own from some old masks; much happier with the results.

hook - WFC Model 6 #10
thread - SemperFli Nano Silk 30d black
butt - Ice Dub Callibaetis
rib - small wire silver
body - hare’s ear dyed dun/Ice Dub Callibaetis
hackle - grizzly
shoulder - pheasant rump
collar/head - deer hair

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Man, it's ripple ice fiber in smolt blue with a bit of ice dub in UV shrimp and a few strands of barred voodoo fiber in a loop. Then a final loop around the chain bead of rabbit in FL Krill. All overkill but I enjoy tying them. Two days ago on my last day out the system I was on had dropped and cleared alot with at least 4'+ of vis, I fished a similar one that got alot of nips and plucks with a couple hookups. It looked somewhat like a skinny sandshrimp tail with that redish color guts/abdomen section. In the water its got a fuller, pulsating profile as it swings through the varying currents and seams.

Doncha just hate it when ya spend 40 minutes tying a fly and then do something careless like cutting through the stinger line when clipping the shank???

Shank up front, trailer hook in the back....gliding goodness.


Once it swims, those strays will lie down to where they're supposed to be.

I kind of slacked off tying last year. Had our spare room set up to tie last winter, then did a interior remodel. My daughter moved back into spare room half way into the remodel so I never got it painted/trimmed. She moved back out and the room sort of stayed stagnant.

Happy to report I finally got room trimmed out and painted!
