Tying a Hackle stacker adams emerger with Johnny Utah 

I have done it with the mono, but i find it easier to just use the thread and the thread makes for a less bulky fly. The originator of the fly, Bob Quigley, did it both ways. Thank you!

Fantastic fly, every time I see this that dubbed body and that hackle look better and better. I can't thank you enough for sharing your talent. All the best, Sean

I like this ...Took me awhile to get it down.. Once I got familiar with the process of tying down the hackle and para loop I was okay....Thanks for a great tutorial. Ken Martin

Rich, Thank you, The para-loop technique is very useful for many patterns. Have fun with it. Johnny

A very interesting and a very good clear presentation the thread post is a cracking method, shall definitely give this one a go although we normally do well with a standard winged Adams this one could possibly give a far better footprint. Thank you for sharing it with us all. You must be one of the few American Tyers who practice "Less is more" Keeping flies as thin as they are naturally, Marvin Nolte who comes to the UK each year is another. All the Best.

Great demonstration of a very attractive method for many good patterns. I will keep you on my radar for future video contributions. Thanks.

Another great tye Johnny. Im gonna give this one a try. You could probably use this technique for a number of different hatches.

This is an emerger pattern. The tail imitates the shuck that a mayfly emerges from as it becomes an adult. On a para adams the tail is made of hackle fibers and imitates the adult stage of the mayfly, after it has emerged from the shuck. Also a para adams wraps the hackle around the post, comes back down, and is tied off at the base of the post (or at the eye), rather than tying off the thread/material the hackle is wrapped around next to the eye. Hope that answers your question!

Awesome fly, success guaranteed, very good instruction film ! Thanks Johnny.

Watched a tyer at the 2013 NW Fly Tyer Excpo here in Albany, OR tie a version of the hackle stacker where he sues a piece of clear thread or 7x tippet for the loop and ties it down both front and back of the stack to make it "bulletproof" but your three loops looks perfectly adequate. (tyer was Marlon Rampy of Medford, OR to give proper due). Don't know which would be easier but having to bring in another material is probably more difficult. Nice job!

Nice fly, those are some crazy scissors!!

Awesome video, thanks a lot. I have never seen this technique before!

Excellent, and not too difficult. Much easier with a gallows tool to hold the loops. It helps to compress the hackles onto the post before tying behind the eye.

Great pattern, terrific instruction!!

Hey Jonny, If you tie many of these I would suggest you make yourself a guillotine attachment. I made mine with a piece of piano wire, two tiny o rings holding an electrical connector with rubber tubing and an alligator clip. works great! It holds the loops up for me and leaves me with both hands. All the best to you, Sean

Nice looking fly. Well tied

Thank you for sharing

amazing wing and hackle technique

Powarenja, Thank you, They call this pattern with a wing a Flagship hackle stacker i do believe.

Terrific teaching video, Thanks

Im gonna give it a try for Sulphurs for the Spring Jam. They might come in handy.

Incredible

Also another thing you could add in is a cripple wing with this technique. Not really saying it should be done with an adams but possibly another fly.

Weill I am going to tie some, and also do some for the pale evening dun hatch that is the next big hatch in my part of the world, pale orange body, yellow thread and Pale Dun hackle, a more durable fly for that late in the day till dark time. Been known to hook thirty fish in an hour during the peak period.

Great Demonstration:-) Thanks for sharing:-)

Thank you for the video! Like! also manufactured bait with your hands!

Super montage!

Fantastic fly, goes without saying, but thats a version of 'he's gone' i haven't heard, whens it from?

NIce! Innovative. Smart. Thanks.

Nice work

Well, a parachutes is a parachute and paraloop is a paraloop which also is a hackle stacker. Savy?

wow awesome job. im just rushing into my flies and they look like total garbage, time to slow it down, thanks johnny

Have you heard of a green drake fan wing hackle stacker style ?

So besides not using a poly wing post, what's the difference between this and a parachute Adams?

Hey Johnny where you get your scissors at

I enjoy the dead at the beginning and end of video. He's Gone... fishin'??

belle silhouette!

What sort of an idiot gives a thumbs down to this excellent fly? There are few better all-round flies, and this is a well-tied example.

Fantastic pattern, but there is no way I'll ever be able to get this down!!!

Very nice :-)

time to upgrade your scissor game my man

Why not just tie a comparadun

タイヤーと所変われば、ですねえ。 ループに指でテンションをかけながらハックリングして、どうするのかと思いきやっ！！ 器用ですねー。　すばらしい。 でも電話には出られないかな。
