What comes first, Hans - the idea of the pattern and then you come up with the name, or a clever name and then a fly to match it? Either way, your flies are terrific.
Joe,
In the majority of cases the order is as follows - I visualise a pattern, tie it/them, and a name comes at the end.
In a much smaller number of cases I may have a name I like, and a pattern follows.
Cheers,
