I believe that there is a quote in Gary Borger's book "Presentation" that
needs to be remembered. The question arose about how good a fishes eyes
were. Gary said something like" if they were any good they wouldn't take
the flies that we are presenting to them" Part of the fun of tying is
experimenting and then running out to the stream or pond and trying them.
