cheech 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 Having just had a troll on another forum saying that resin, wire and thread don't constitute a fly I replied with this. Resin and thread only! Cheers, C. That troll was correct though ... they don't constitute a "fly" in this case. But they do constitute a fantastic looking nymph. A nymph isn't a fly???

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 Just to be precise the exact, quote was "Winding thread and wire on a hook and coating with UV resin isn't fly tying". Like most Englishmen when confronted with stupidity, I took the $%£&. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To the rigid traditional purest minded fly fisher, a fly must have at least some "natural" materials on the hook. To the extreme dogmatic traditional minded fly fisher, a fly must have all "natural" materials on the hook. They might give the thread a pass. Oh! . . . and you can't use a jig hook either.
