...again realizing I am the newbie here I do have to comment ... and yes... ask another question... [
]
.. I have numerous tyers on several boards say the same thing.. what I use is a small mod of what was there and therefore is not unique etc.. to me.. especially knowing some of the talent of the tyers here on this board I wonder if you are not giving up to quickly on seeing or checking to see if your mod or new creation is unique enough to be called your own..... meaning.. if you create a fly for your use.. even a mod from another fly.. isnt it still your creation and therefore can or should be named by you?? ... now with that in mind.. and maybe this will clarify for me..
... what constitutes a new fly.. does it have to be something that has never been tied before.. or can it be a mod of an existing pattern that is unique enough that it can be called a different fly.. and on top of that.. who makes that call.. who says whether or not a fly is new and unique or modified to a point that it is unique enough to be given a different name...???
