It's funny how tastes differ. I much prefer the creative use of synthetic
materials over the same-old same-old "traditional" patterns using just
feathers and fur.

The hypocrisy in the all natural argument is the coated threads, tinsels,
and ribbing used of course. As you know, I have this thing for natural
things in fly fishing for trout.

I've been tying sal****er patterns lately, in preparation for an upcoming
trip. Without flashy synthetic materials, sal****er flies would be really
boring and probably relatively ineffective.

If I could tie sal****er flies, I'm sure I'd be forced to use synthetics
too. They just don't make too many animals with sparkling fur and feathers.
