Hey Dave; would like to see your version of the Wooly Worm Please post it.

Just as a matter of interest. I tie all my Palmered flies Starting at the bend and Finishing at the head. I just prefer to do it that way.

As to whether the Taggerti is a variant of the Wooly Worm why not. As I said in my post. Tying a unique pattern is extremely difficult as it would appear there is always somebody who has done it all before. In my opinion virtually every fliy tied today has it roots way back in time. However the vanity of the Tier mixed with a bit of pride will always have its place if fly tying is not to stagnate. Jax
