I was just thinking about your comment on the movement and a funny but serious question crossed my mind. How do the guys designing these flys know that they have movement during the dead drift? Do they put on scuba gear and follow their proto types down river during the trial runs?
this questions has entered my mind during several siminars I attended and during discussions with friends and fellow fly fishers I meet on the river. But until now I have never asked this question to people I did not know personal;y real well.
