The late Bob Scammell had a fantastic "outdoor" column in the Red Deer Advocate for close to 40 plus years until he passed away. Bob was a big advocate for public land being for all. Bob was an avid fly fisherman. Here is a brief excerpt from one of his columns.
On Monday March 22nd at 7 pm, we will be tying the three main adams dry flies: Parachute Adams, Adams and Bastard Adams. The materials you will need are listed below.
