Willow should have notice that this entirely new and modern, exceptional fly design, extraordinary fish catcher fly is very different. OK! Just look at it. Really look at it!!!! The hackles are wound in the opposite direction. Now try to call that a Flymph you big babies.

Actually, what the hell are they saying? A Cruncher? Dumb A's. It's a FLYMPH! And there's a great website for learning how to tye and fish them or learn anything you want about them and their cousins Wet Flies. Just click on flymphforum.com

HAHAHAHAHA! Us girls really need a get together all ourselves....where's Kelly?

This is the problem with tying. EVERYONE is trying to reinvent the wheel!

HA...I am right here shaking my head. I never heard of a Cruncher, till now. But I wouldn't get the undies in a twist over a new name for it. But, that's just me.

Vicki.....the problem is not that "EVERYONE" is trying to reinvent the wheel..........the problem is that to many seem to feel they're owed something because they came up with a fly that works.............(virtually any fly will work ).............unfortunately we only have so many magazines, that can only afford to pay a handful of fly tyers for their patterns...........so they can sell advertizements...........that also perpetuate the myth of fishing success, based on those same patterns so-to-speak..............know-what-i-mean?.................so the vicious cycle goes on................
i hate to say it.......(so don't your thinking ), HARDLY.....but i saw the same thing all this past weekend.........and i fully understand. A guy has a dream.............and he works hard at fullfilling that dream for half a damn century.................guy like, well, let's just say, so many of the "names"............if i've heard them refer to $$$$$ in one form or the other, once at this show or that show..............i must of heard it 500 times................gets old after a while............i'd rather be hustled by a Pro hustler, than one of my heros......... i know, i know.....that's naive
personally, i'd hate to ever get so successful.....doing what i love.....that i felt i hadda keep drilling home the point that................blah blah blah blah, i got this for sale and that for sale and this for sale and that for sale and this for sale and that for sale..................jeeze.................... like a broken record with a skip in it.............
Just alllllllllllllllllllll the hype that comes with the territory.............ya gotta be able to discern wass what, and filter out all the B.S.
What's ruining fly fishing is the simple fact that it's a business............an industry............those things screw up a wet dream............
