I was unaware that a Green Pheasant Tail has a Dubbed thorax, a holographic color core bead or a Chartreuse Holo Tinsel wing case.
I guess I put my name on it because it’s not in any fly catalog I’ve ever seen, and the name Uber was from a friend of mine.
Also people change flies and their designs all the time, just about everything we tie is a knock off from the older greater tiers who started it.
Such as Trina’s Bubble Back Emerger. All it is, is a Pheasant Tail with a dubbed thorax and a PMD fiber wing case.
A person can go on and on about this, but in reality if it’s 20% different in design and no one else has it, it’s yours.
This is getting blown out of proportion. I’m not trying to “pimp” my fly as the next greatest thing the horn. It works everywhere there’s Baetis, same as a PT or a wonder nymph or a Master Baetis.
I also give Kelly Galloup full credit in my video. I put my name on it to mark a change in the pattern, just like the guy did who put the Mallard Flank on the back fly of the Heifer Groomer and changed It’s name to the Fathead. Kelly Galloup now uses the Fathead and gives that guy credit for doing so.
Kelly Galloup also made the Circus Peanut famous. He did not invent it. It was Russ Madden’s way to tie a Sex Dungeon easier and faster.
I am in the commercial Fly Tying business, that is what I do for a living. If I tie it and it has never been seen, I put my name on it. I’m also a fly designer for MFC and they require it. I also own my own fly manufacturing company and I require it with new patterns I pick up. It put’s a date on the fly and marks it’s inventor. Eventually names disappear from the fly.
I can understand that. But if I wanted to advertise, I would put my website in my signature, the link to my catalog or so on in my signature.
I do a lot of different videos on different flies and I like to share, that’s the bottom line.
You’re right………………
Tell you what…………Let’s fish some of those flies together. Just tell me when to meet up and fish the Horn with you. It has been a long time and would love to be shown some secrets.
I would love to. March through late May is my favorite time to fish for big Rainbows. I’m available any day of the week.

That is a pretty good time around here as well, but I am heading up that way April 26-29th. I have some buddies in town that will be staying at Cottonwood.
You guys name the day and where to meet and I’ll bring the boat and the flies.
Just to let you know up front, I do not want or accept any compensation, so don’t even try it.
