Re: [VFB] Round 2: Your oppinion......Is this a fly????

[Wally Lutz]

Hi, I'm going to say it's a "Lure." A fly for me is one that imitates anything that fish feed on naturally. Bugs , subsurface or surface, terrestrial and I'll add minnows, tadpoles, eggs etc.  Lures (salvo pudore): Anything you don't feel embarrassed about putting on your fly line. They are designed to attract attention, provoke a feeding response be it spoon, crank bait or wild concoction of feathers, hair or anything we can tye on a hook. A lure.

O.K. with the exception of Sir Ridderbos & Myself, everyone basically stated that the HAYDEN'S GRUB is not a fly...that's fair...

 Here's Round two of this Thread. Take a Look at this Surf fly- the 1040. it looks agreat deal like the Hayden's Grub(they both have "curly Tails" on them). The  Hayden's Grub has a wing, where as the 1040 doesn't...But basically result in the same action in the water.... Except that the tail on the 10/40 is actually sold as a tying material in Fly Tying Catalogues....

  IS THIS A FLY?????
