THE FLY OR THE RISE
In the world of fly tying an inevitable discussion is bound to rear its head from time-to-time. The discussion is much like that of the "chicken and the egg" question, but in piscatorial pursuits includes the "Fly and the rise". Or rather which came first, the pattern or the rise requiring the pattern? Sit around a campfire and if my experiences are the norm, you will hear a consensus that most patterns are tied to catch more fishermen than fish.
