LOL please, my responses were pretty measured compared to the kind of reception the original post would receive on an actual fly tying/fishing forum. Classy with the name calling too, not unexpected though. Thanks for the warning!! I won't hold hard feelings on my part with you. I can see where you are coming from. I'll add this to my list of adult learning moments. In my case, the entries on that list don't get any less frequent as I have aged.

Nice fly. Now I am really probably going to further irritate some fly fisherman by sharing that I fish my articulated fly on a spinning rod. I never use it on a fly rod for the same reason cuzza points out. I am much better able to control my cast with a spinning rod.

Waste of time. Learned a lesson about sharing anything in this community. Thanks for the wonderful welcome. Hope you are all proud of yourselves.

It is probably hard to tie a fly nowadays that doesn't look like something someone else has tied before. I am not out looking for any credit for inventing something. I just wanted to share what I developed and found to work. I didn't know there was a stern ethic with some -- an unwritten copyright law -- regarding fishing flies. The fact that there was a design similar to the fly I shared prior to me sharing it is apparent. I didn't mean to take away from the work of others. It is a good design in my experience that has worked very well for me. I encourage anyone that has not used it to give it a try.

Never heard of that fly before you pointed it out. I admit they are similar designs. If you don't believe that I guess you don't.

Thanks for sharing Fishfinder. I agree that the flies look very similar. Looks like it works well for you.

So, an analogy to show you how stupid I think this is. Let's assume you are a home builder. One that actually has some design skills. You design a custom split level home and offer the design to your clients along with many stock models. You decide to call it what you want, some name with good marketing fluff attributes would be the typical thing to do. Your rational applied to home building is that this builder can not offer his design to the market with out first publicly paying tribute to the first guy or gal that designed a split level home. Who would even know that? Who would even care? Makes no sense. Doesn't matter. Clients like the house, clients buy and dwell in the house. They don't a year or more later sit back and remember or care what the builder's design was called. They just are happy with their choice and that the home fits their needs.

i don't understand why this is such an issue for you. Why are you more interested in what something is called instead of sharing what works? You guys must know it all already and so this is really boring for you and this is how you find entertainment. What I have to admit is that I have naively stepped into the world of fly tying snobbery. I'll let you all have the last reply. I have nothing else to say. I am moving on.

So, you must be quite a chap. Calling someone that you don't know a liar because you have some other fly tying knowledge in your head is appalling to me. I guess you have appointed yourself the fly tying taxonomy God on this forum. Good for you. I hope that role brings you and others a lot of value in life. Enough said on this. It would be nice if some one would reply with a fly they would like to share.

Ok. Let me be much more diplomatic than I feel right now. I started this topic with the hopes of sharing useful information between people interested in trophy Speck fishing. I did not expect my first reply, or any replies, to be a complaint about what I wanted to share. It is sad when vanity and arrogance ruins things for others trying to have a substantive exchange. GTH

Wallicio, Unfortunately I am not a fly tying affectionado as you are presuming. I developed this fly on my own based on experience I had starting out fishing with unarticulated flies of my own tie and using jointed rapalas. I don't subscribe to the precedent that one must study other fly tyiers work before one sits down to tie a fly. I do what makes sense based on my experience.
