Great video Mr. Clark. I'm learning, just scroll past all the other fly tying instructionals and look for the Barry Ord Clark videos. If he doesn't tie it, I probably don't need it. Thank you again Sir.
There's no one's videos I learn more about fly tieing from than yours. I purchased your "FLYTYING TECHNIQUES" book this past summer. Thanks for sharing your craft with others. 🙂
Came to make sure I have the right idea when I tie up some more. I made 5 purple adams. Yesterday I had 4 left and had a 17 fish day and now I have none lol.
I've had to have watch this at least 10 times already haha. Everyday for the past month I wake up and watch your videos while I practice tying. Thank you soooo much for the time you took to upload these. I've learned so much from you! Your consistency is inspiring. Wishing a Good day to you friend 🙏🙋♂️🧡
Beautiful tie Barry - the Adams has been my go-to dry fly way before it became a "classic". Like the way you rotate the fly to finish off the hackles. To further date myself, I had to smile when you identified the body dubbing as "Adams Grey Superfine" ... I just use beaver fur cut right off a hide patch. Cheers and tight lines Barry! Hank
@@Thefeatherbender Yes, pretty sure that you are right - the original Adams calls for muskrat which is a darker grey than beaver. I have a (very) large supply of natural materials and use "water-critter" fur (beaver, otter, mink, muskrat and racoon) for my dries and "land-critter" fur (rabbit, squirrel, woodchuck .etc) for my wets/nymphs. Don't know what "Superfine" is made of. I do use synthetics as well but most of my flies are natural earth-tone imitations of the bugs I find in the rivers. Cheers! Hank
Great to see the hook flipped over to make the wing horizontal to enable the hackles to be wound in the usual manner and to whip finish on the wing post and not the hook. Why tiers persist in making things hard for themselves by winding parachute hackles in the horizontal plane and tying off on the hook is a mystery to me. If there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way, Barry's way (and Australian Mick Hall's way) is certainly the easy right way ! Its a core skill we all need to master.
Hi, the whole idea with this technique is that you don't interfere with the thorax, not totally essential with this pattern but with many others it is, just habit forming after you have done it thousands of times.
Hi Michael, if you are having trouble with your hackle stems breaking, it sound like you are using a poor quality hackle i'm afraid! If you don't have super quality hackle, send me your address and I'll bang a few dry fly saddle hackles in the post to you for you to try, you won't go back afterwards.
No problem at all Michael, e mail me your postal address and I'll get some off to you after easter, I'm sea trout fishing right now. Keogh hackles not the best but it should be good! But you'll see the difference! barrycl@online.no
Helped me soooo much. thank you!!! I also have a question. When doing a spinner style like this should you still size the hackle to the hook size? thank you
Hi OMT, Thanks always good to know that they help! Well this is a actually not a spinner but a dun (adult) but I do like to increase the hackle size a little on some parachute and klinkhamer patterns. If you find the videos helpful, may I also suggest this, it will take your tying to another level: th-cam.com/video/mVLof0uXqyE/w-d-xo.html
Gorgeous job. Is there a reason you used the rotary function to apply the dubbing, or is it just preference? Love the way you adjust the fly position to wind the hackle. Thanks for the great videos!
Hi Chris, thanks, yes there is! If you spin your dubbing tight onto your tying thread and then wrap it using your bobbin, your dubbing will unwind with each wrap of bobbin, but if you hold your bobbin in place and rotate your vice the dubbing stays tight and creates a nice tight segmented body.
In 2017 you made a video of the "perfect" parachute hackle, where you used just one hackle and stripped half the fibres off before winding. Why do you not use the same technique here? Thanks for making the best tying videos on the Tube.
Hi Chris, Just two different techniques, the 'perfect' technique is best when using a single hackle but when you need a double hackle like in the Adams its best to use the traditional technique.
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career."
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you watch my videos now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you and I will find you.
this is the best version i have seen so far in my exploration for a effective Adams para post and tie
Thank you.

Hi Jon, thank you! Always good to get positive feedback...
This guy's flies are flawless.
Why thank you J.

Excellent!!
Very helpful demonstration. With every fly I tie, it’s looking better and better.
Thanks Casy. Always good to know that they help!
Beautiful tie. So well done.
Thank you! 😊
Such clean and effective tying. Thanks for the tips, techniques and insights.

Really enjoy all of your tutorials. Eloquent and informative!

Thats Hank, yeah I just love super fine for dry flies, although I believe the original was Muskrat underfur dubbing.
Thanks!

Thank you. Mick is a good mate of mine!
love it! just started tying this pattern and your techniques made it a lot easier!
Wonderful! Good luck with the tying Brandon.
This is where a crew saddle comes in handy. Nice fly.
Thats right, a cree hackle or a instant Adams hackle which is a Grizzle variant with a good amount of brown in it.
Bought both of your books. Love them!
Thank you, new book coming later this year.
Why cut it if you can just go back to the post?

Top notch as always Barry!!
Thanks Calle.
Great video. Straightforward and very helpful.
Thanks Kerry.
a very nice tie enjoy you tying
Magnificent verdion Barry. Thnx
Thanks Paulus.
Magnificent! Been my favorite pattern since I was a kid. Many thanks. Lp
Nice one as always
Thanks Gary
Very nice
Thank you...
excellent technique. Thank you
Thanks John.
Beautiful Barry
That Fly was First Tied by a Chap ...... just a few short Miles from My Place in NW Michigan !!!
✨🎣💫
Yes it was!
I have to Believe Mate ...... that You could fish that Around the Globe 🌍 ...... and it would catch fish for You !!!!
Cheers ✨🎣💫
thanks again
Wonderful. Thx
Pleasure...
I still struggle winding the hackle on. Sometimes the stem snaps. Wonder am i not stripping off enough fibets to where the stem is thinner

@@Thefeatherbender that is so good of you. I thought the hackle I bought was good enough though. It's a keoghs.

thanks so much
Great job, as usual for a video I did’nt see (sorry :-) ). Thanks for sharing. Just a question, if I dare: your tyer is a Petitjean?
Thank you, yes this vice is a Petitjean Swiss master.
The wing appears very much like calk BODY hair not Calf TAIL; Nice fly!!
Thats right Earl its calf body, I realised I had said wrongly in the video thats why I wrote it in the text.
In 2017 you made a video of the "perfect" parachute hackle, where you used just one hackle and stripped half the fibres off before winding. Why do you not use the same technique here?
