Not to be all crazy , but here is a historic viewpoint prompted by
Ralph's astute comments. Thaddeus Norris in the 1864 classic the
American Anglers Book was commenting about flyfishing in high water and
said you could take a nymphy looking soft hackle, weight it with a lead
buckshot, and drift it under a float and catch fish (sounds familiar).
But, then added that he didn't care to do so since it was really bait
fishing with a fly. His answer seemed to be using a palmer hackled fly
that didn't look too far removed from a wooley bugger tied on a big
heavy hook as the point with more natural looking soft hackles as the
droppers.

We all make our own decisions about how we like to fish.

It also seems these decisions are also based on how much money we spent
to go fishing, how big the targeted fish is, who is looking, and how
frustrated we are. Everyone has a price.
