Tied by Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions.
The EP Adams is pretty much your standard Catskill style Adams with the exception of the wings. Instead of using the usual grizzly hackle tip wings, I've replaced them with EP Trigger Point Fibers. This is to increase tying speed and durability to a certain extent. I also really like the shimmery translucency of the Trigger Point Fibers in terms of representing natural mayfly wings.
