I tied 3 adams using different hackle, grizzly and brown, cree and barred dark ginger. all tied on size 14 dry fly hook.

I just want to see if you can tell what is what and what adams you like most.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

The traditional grizzly with brown looks the best but the cree looks ok as well.

Well, at least you are in New Orleans, where it has all been done before.  It is hard to come up with an original way to misbehave in New Orleans.
