The old saying that "nothing in flytying is new" may indeed be true. However It's a real pleasure to persevere and try at least to try and come up with something original even though we may find out at a later date that's it's been done before!
I'd say that most modern day patterns are variations of something that's been created before. I call it flytying evolution!
I was at the vice today and came up with these three flys incorporating a butt in a shade of bazooka joe pink which I'm sure our flytying forefathers of the Victorian age would never had thought possible to be utilised in the creation of a trout fly pattern!
I have to say that I have noticed modern day trout flies with the inclusion of pink. However it's not a colour I have in my trout fly box.
So with this in mind this is a bit of experimentation for me and something I'm looking forward to casting at my local Loch before this season is out!
