[VFB] Variations on patterns. Was the Bulkley Mouse

[KEITH PASSANT]

So is the fly in the picture not the BM? It looks to me like it has a clipped body. Probably a newer variation which brings us to another topic. When do you change the name of a fly if you take an original pattern and change it as in this tie. I know we have had this discussion before on here but it was a couple of years back. The most changed pattern I can think of is the good old Pheasant tail nymph. So when do we change the fly's name???????????

I think that the fly rides lower on the water this way.--Gerry On 10/28/05, KEITH PASSANT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Looking at the pic of a very nice fly would a Bomber not doa similar job??
