On 12 Aug, 2004, at 15:00, Jimmy D. Moore offered as Quote of the Day:
"The best dry flies ride high on the water, supported only by their hackle tips and tail fibers (another help in breaking outline).� Choose those that are tied on hooks of light fine wire and with stiff, vibrant hackles.� Place a fly on a book or flat surface and hold it to eye level.� If the hook touches the surface, the fly is either poorly tied or the hackles and tail fibers fail to meet dry-fly standards."
As has been shown ad nauseam over the last 20 years or so, including in this forum, the above, oft repeated, 19th century fallacy, is just that, utter BS...
