: | 2 day ago, I posted a new pattern. Here is the pattern link http://
: | www.versacorp.cn/picImg/Adams-Big.jpg . I have got some feedback
about
: | my pattern.
: |
: | ----The fly is not tied true to the accepted pattern, the
proportions
: | are wrong, and it should be tied in sizes 10 to 20. Other than that,
: | it's perfect.
: |
: | ----Often it's more important that -I- can see the fly than to make
an
: | exact match - the fish don't mind.
: |
: | I have a question to ask whether we should strictly follow the tying
: | rules or just use your imagination to tie what you want to tie and
: | have fun. You know, even some patterns I have seen do not follow the
: | rules but they still could catch fish. So what are your comments?
