EXACTLY! Now it just seems interesting that in the early 1900s, the William Mills Co. had many wet fly trout patterns for sale. There is an entire plate(s) of wet flies in the book Streamcraft by Holden. The copy I have was printed in 1920. If you have faith in a fly pattern/style/method/etc. then you'll use it. Over the course of 50+ years of fly tying I can't tell you how many times I've heard that Mustad trout hooks are dull. Well, over that time a lot of fishers have gotten stuck with these hooks and not surprisingly even more trout!
