Not on my part. One of the moderators here decided he didn’t like the name of a fly I posted (not even my pattern) and took it upon himself to change it to a “proper” one. I tie for pleasure and won’t let that kind of attitude ruin it for me.

Doug,

That's correct; a great site with lots of patterns to try. Thanks for the kind words.

Johnno,

Very nice fly. I'm guessing that's a Mustad 94842? A 94840 isn't an up-eye.

Thanks Hank. Only had well-marked badger hackle in larger sizes, hence the bigger iron here; it does make for an interesting effect.
