Ooohh... I feel debate coming on. In my humble opinion it's all OK. Half of
the flies out there really don't imitate a darn thing... so it ends up
being
a lure or attractor anyway... what's the diff.... my 0.02

Subject: [VFB] Hanging Hardware on Your Flies
Morning All-
Just thought I would post something that might get the
list stirred up a little, since things have been
fairly quiet of late. The latest issue of Fly Tyer
magazine has an article about using hardware like
spinner blades and propellors on flies, streamer &
bucktail type patterns, that is. The article was
written by Art Scheck, whom I know is very highly
respected.
The first eight paragraphs or so consist of a
justification and defense of the practice by citing
the historical (pre-WW II) use of hardware on flies.
The rest of the article consists of how to tie flies
with hardware and fishing tips for them.
I'm just wondering if anyone on the list puts hardware
on their flies? Does anyone feel this is, well, just
kind of wrong? Being relatively new (only a few years)
to flyfishing, I'm open to new or even old ideas that
have come around again, but somehow or another this
seems to cross some kind of line, even though so
knowledgeable and respected an authority as Mr Scheck
endorses it. I know flyfishing and tying is a big
tent, but I wonder how other people on the list feel.
Just curious in Oregon
-John
