Except that the tail on the 10/40 is actually sold as a tying material in Fly Tying Catalogues....
They could sell Mack trucks as fly tying material but that don't make it so.
Still, I would maintain that anything that can be presented with a fly rod (ie, casting the weight of hte line rather than the "lure") is in fact a "fly" in the most generic sense of the word. The 1040 looks as much like a fly as a lot of other patterns do.
Is there really a difference between tying with soft plastic as opposed to foam, or, for that matter, any other synthetic material?
Just my thoughts.
