Name That Fly!
am i the only person who searches for fly patterns simply by name? from FAOL threads and articles, friends, magazines, books, and so on, i find out the name of a fly i'd like to tie for some fishing i'd like to do. then i put that name into the search box over on the fly pages. sometimes (but not very often) i get a reply i can use.
so i Google the fly name, and look at three or four pages with recipes and pictures and choose one to tie. Simple!
no form filling out, no confusion over warm/cold water, panfish vs. trout, streamer vs. nymph, winter vs. summer. all i need is the name.
yep, call me a Luddite, but it works every time.

fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.
