So...a bead head pheasant tail isn't a fly in PEI, huh? Maybe it's just me, but this whole discussion seems like a teriffic waste of time. I second Kevin's motion from yesterday.
In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Call it what you want to call it. My guess is that once a fish thinks that what you've got tied on the end of your leader looks more like lunch than a conglomeration of feathers, plastic, silk, nylon, wax and fur; then you'll stop caring what it should be called and start worrying about getting that fish into your net without the tippet failing spectacularily. Now...the real question is, what differentiates a fancy fly fishing strike-indicator from a common bait casting bobber?
