The Source of Controversy All Over the Country, Right Here to Do a 1 on 1 Interview
I've been reading around, and almost every fly-fishing blog has mention of the Two Bit Hooker. I've read the whole story about 10 times, and here's my two-bits (thanks to Cofisher for that one). First off, this man gets his own view. You don't have to agree with it, but he gets his own view. If I ruled the world, this man would have to spend a day in the snake pit for punishment. Sadly, I have not yet been voted President (C'mon, people). Second, we need to let the fly tiers name their own flies. Their creation, their name. Does everyone agree with this? Make sure you do before you read on. Okay. I recently had a great friend and amazing fly tier named Jay Zimmerman have to change his fly name to the Geezus Lizard from the Jesus Lizard. Now, Jay didn't argue, but I'm sure he had that name picked out for a reason. The biggest reason he had to do this is because one man from a different website said it was bad against Christians. I went on the forum he posted, and all of the people who responded disagreed with him. They said it was being over-the-top, and gave props to Jay on his awesome fly creation. But it still happened. Now everyone, are we really going to let this one man try and get the name of the Two-Bit Hooker changed? You keep your own opinions, whatever they are. I personally think this man is being an idiot. I'm young, maybe I don't have the whole view on things. I'm just saying my opinion. What do you guys think?
no doubt this subject has ruffled some feathers! I'm with ya, you design a fly...you name it. period.
ReplyDeleteI designed a fly I was going to post today, but after yesterday's go around, I decided to let the dust settle a little first. If you ask any flytier, they'll probably say that they had a specific reason for naming a fly what they do. Who are we to question that? By the way Justin, I want to give you a little hint. My fly is made mostly of cat hair.
ReplyDeleteHaha nice, I've had my fair share of dog hair flies, and one hamster emerger. Ya, people need to get the saddle hackle out of their butts on this one before we start anything new. Does cat hair make things float?
ReplyDeleteCofisher...your fly isn't, perhaps, a knob bobber?
ReplyDeleteOr a two bit hooker? or a bitch creek? or an alien shit? ;)
ReplyDeleteThis world we live in is too sensitive! Co- if you come out with the knob bobber first I will be upset. I am making a streamer with jungle cock and now in lingo what to call it
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not touching a knob bobber. I was actually thinking about the Happy Hooker or Pussy Galore.
ReplyDeletePerfect. But you gotta throw a side comment in that mentions you were inspired to name it that from the guy in St. Paul
ReplyDelete"I HOOKED YO MOMMA"WOULD BE A GOOD NAME !
