Time for tying

[HFT]

Since the water is froze,here is a link to a Embrio egg: sit down and try to tie it. It will work awsome as soon as ice breaks.

Hey James that is one neat looking fly. A question from someone who has never fly fished (at least not with a flyrod anyways), at what point is a fly no longer a fly and it becomes a lure?

When there's a propeller on it or it's been dipped in trout gravy[]

Seriously though, you will get a few different answers on that one depending who you ask. A basic definition of a fly is natural or synthetic materials secured to a hook using a vise and tying thread.

Not speaking for James, but to me it depends on which side of the Atlantic you're on. In GB they're all called flies or lures. Over here in the U.S. I would say a "lure" has enough weight, so when you cast it, it's the lure that propels it out to the water i.e. on a spinning rod. A fly, on the other hand, being almost next to nothing in weight, depends on the weighted flyline to get it to the water, i. e. a flyrod.
Using a spinning rod, water bubble and fly???????????????? I would say it's........fishing.
One last thing, a fly represents a natural food source for fish. Lures would be an attractor.

The Water is too muddy to go there any more, I know of several good fly patterns that require no thread, and I know of several lures that take more tying materials than flies do. Who know's? As long as it catches me fish on my fly rod and I can still respect myself in the morning!!
