An Adams Hair Wing from Wisconsin tyer Ed Haaga. Used elk for the tail/body to keep flair to a minimum; also tied it a bit bushier than the original since most of the little blue lines I plan to fish are still moving along pretty well.
hook - Dai Riki 300 #10
thread - UTC 140 black
tail/body- elk hair
rib - tying thread
wing - deer hair (divided)
hackle - grizzly/brown
Mash barb, start thread, wrap to 3/4 point

Clean, stack, measure (hook length) a clump of deer hair, tie in with 2 soft loops, pull tight while holding on to the butts; trim butts




Clean, stack, measure (shank length) a sparse clump of elk; trim to length, tie in, allowing the hair to surround the shank


Spiral wrap to bend, and back


Create thread dam in front to set wing upright

Divide, and conquer (with Figure 8 wraps)


Tie in hackle

Wrap hackle, tie off/trim, half hitch x 2, SHHAN
