Adams Cripple
Fly: Bruce Salzburg, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: TMC 100, size 14-18
Thread: Iron Grey, 8/0
Abdomen: Grey Superfine Dubbing
Wing: Coastal deer hair, tied in Quiggly Cripple 'like' (see note below)
Hackle: Grizzly

Note: The Adams Cripple is tied with the wing forward, but not strictly "Quiggly Cripple" style. The "Quiggly Cripple" wing leaves the butts of the hair visible as a wing pad, like the PMD Cripple.
(I tie it both ways, depending on my mood at the moment.)
