Deb,
you should have been around for the thread on
pattern originality.
"Deceivers" go way- way back, and are based on
trout and bass streamers, which go even farther back. To give 'credit'
would have to be limited to minor modifications all along the development
process, just as you so rightfully pointed out by your example of minor
modifications.
I usually save 'giving credit' for lending
institutions. It's very tough to claim originality in this
business. It does happen, but is very hard to prove.
Oh, and I have a hook here with "Toto is
coming" tagged onto it.

Does anyone know who originated the Streaker
Deceiver pattern like the one on page 79 of Lefty Krehs Saltwater fly
patterns book? I've been asked to tie a pattern similar to this for
the Fly of the Month for UFTRI and I would like to give credit where credit
is due. I'm actually tying the Bills Block Island streaker (Art of
Angling Journal issue 3 pg 100) but I noticed that it looked a little too
close to this pattern just with the addition of Doll eyes and halographic
flash.
Thanks,
Deb
