Another - What's the Difference?

[Allan]

Or Pattern vs Recipe

Am I to understand that you consider a 'Pattern' and a 'Recipe' as the same?

Sage,

"The Surrey Flydressers Guild has fly tying classes.

In Darrel Martin's book, The Fly-Fisher's Craft, he quotes from several books. A 1952 edition of John Veniard's Fly Dresser's Guide and from the 1931 book by H.G. McClelland, The Trout Fly Dresser's Cabinet of Devices.

Just my input, when you consider just how beautiful those Atlantic Salmon flies are and how long it takes to 'dress' one, I can easily see why they would call it flydressers back then. A total work of art."

Thanks for that and the link. By the way, Theodore Gordon also notes a difference between 'Tying and Dressing' and that was in one of his 'Notes & Letters' back in 1910-15. I'll have to look it up.
