[Fishbreath]

i would have named the fly differently but its the same pattern as the famous Red *** fly used on the white river in Arkansas but with a slightly different color twist

Because your fly name directly conflicts with the NGTO rules and guidelines.

No particular beef with you rainbowlover but there seems to have been a bit of erosion of the compliance with those regs.

I guess it's time for a reminder thread to put things back to where and what those rules state.

Landon, how about calling it the Pink Donkey? Or along the lines of the Green Butt Skunk, the Pink Butt?

i really am sorry guys. i was really hoping this didn't happen but i didn't know what else to call the pattern. (as i found it in a patten book and many different pattern archives on the web) i gues it should have known be refered to it as the pink "butt" soft hackle

sorry for any problems i may have caused:bang: :bang: :bang:
