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?????

Both of the "flies" you have posted to me are lures. The fact that it is tied on a fly hook and cast with a fly rod does not make it a fly.
To me what makes it a fly is that no part of it was molded, carved, or turned on a lathe. These, to me, are fly rod lures. They include poppers, plugs, spoons, and twister tailed mutations.
Just my ramblings,
