Sandan 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 I like the dark barred ginger in the middle, cause I just like that color hackle. Cree on the left, Brown/grizzly on the right. How'd I do?😊 All three are really nice ties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upnorthtier 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 you nailed it Sandan---too easy for well trained eye. I'm really surprised that you picked the dark barred ginger. Lets see what look others like. For me is the original brown and grizz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
partsman 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 Nice ties, I think I’m with you the grizzly and brown, but I think any of them will work. Oh, by the way nice hackles also. Mike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets see what look others like. For me is the original brown and grizz I'm a rebel at heart. The brown/grizzly is the classic though and if were tying for anyone but myself or my son, that's how I'd tie 'em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chugbug27 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 brown & grizz here, too... The cree needs color, maybe brown or ginger wings... maybe a gold rib but then it wouldn't be an adams... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moshup 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2021 griz & brown . all three are quite nice. The only thing is that the girl on the far left is a mighty expensive date these days so I’ll stick with the girl next door who happens to be the best looking of the bunch.
