wallershen, hard to help when you hide. Fill in some profile. The Adams family was featured on TV for many years. Several forms, try perhaps the ‘bead-head’ one for abortionistics. New form reciently discovered. Might work with the 'Clan ‘o the Coachmen’ as well, at least the plaid ones.
I tie salwater patterns on Salmon hooks, to fish for Bass. Be a “Rebel without a Clue”, dress some hooks, and go out and catch some fish. Leave this other stuff for people who do not have their priorities in life, staighten out…Parnelli
I think fly fishing is fun. So do lots of other people. One person’s fun is another person’s not-fun. Some of us are interested in using old, traditional names and materials because it’s a challenge or because we like the feeling of being in touch with olden days and fly-tiers, or because we just plain like it. Some of us , on the other hand, like to use space age materials and methods. Both are ok. Some do all. But please don’t assume that people who go for tradition are just doing it to either show-off, make you feel stupid, or are snobs. Some might be. Most are just trying to have some fun. The poster who suggested otherwise is way too judgmental of some of the rest of us.
