Just wondering how many others may do this.
I'll make an online search for a pattern and end up taking/using methods/material from several patterns and incorporate them into a pattern to make my fly.
Sometimes it's a question of what materials I have on hand. Often it's related to my skill level and I take the easiest way out. Some times it's what I think looks best!
Sort of a "Frankenstein Fly" but hopefully not as ugly!!c
