With all the discussion of the correct dressings for various named flies, maybe Cutcliff (I think it was him) might have been on to something by just numbering his tyings. I might start doing the same in the future, but that would mean I'd have to start writing down all the materials for each fly that I tie and fish.
Nah, maybe I'll just tie a few flies, put them in my fly boxes and then later on, try to figure what the heck I used to tie that certain fly! Disorganized but then it'll make this old Bohemian's life be full of little surprises as I try to duplicate a previous dressing, eh?

Atherton certainly numbered his flies. Not a bad system, actually.

Re: Names of flies / dressings
I have thought about listing my flies & didn't know quite how I was going to do it. Reading this post just helped me to decide on how I'm going to list my flies.
Thanks joaniebo for bringing this subject up.
