I did not say that the fly described by Jim: catches less fish(may even
catch more); is less effective; does not float well(differently yes);
is not easier to tie; or anything like that in comparison to a
'Comparadun'. What I said was, 'The pattern he described is a
'Sparkledun', not a 'Comparadun'. That's all!

Of you take a Quill Gordon and change the body from a stripped peacock
quill to a stripped red(brown) hackle quill you get a Red Quill. You
take the body of a Q.G. and change it to one made out of a light tan
fur(or sub) and you get a Hendrickson.


Jim - As to your comment, "Why bother"?
The simple answer is fly tiers 'bother' tying all types of flies that
they use or don't use. Why bother tying at all? It's not, for the great
majority of us, not cost saving. In fact I'll never tie or use the
amount of money I have invested in my tying stuff. I'm sure I'd spend
less buying my flies. I'm guessing that you have more rods and reels
then you actually need. Why bother?
