Although synthetics are also fun, I still have a preference for 'the old
style'. It seems more correct and skilful.

Subject: Re: [VFB] Eels skinTraditional tying is out of fashion. Synthetics is the way to go. Foam, latex, antron, swiss straw, rubber legs etc etc... WONDERFUL!!! I've been trying to convince my friends here, but they just keep saying that "true" fly-tying is supposed to be done the old way. It's sad that it has to become illegal to make them understand that we have reached a new age.It's actually strange how easily they welcomed computers instead of papers and pens, credit cards instead of cash (and so on)... but can't accept fly-tying upgrades.;o)/Nick

So how is eel-skin not cut-bait?
Could one use it in Yellowstone Park where it says "artificials and flies
only"?
Seems like they'd slap a fine on you if they caught you fishing with a strip
of eel-skin- tanned or not.
