John, your post made my head hurt[cool]. I guess when I tied Mothra or the Stonefly, I used material that was different and my own touches, so I guess it is mine.
My Crayfish, however was a pattern that Jason Haslem came up with, I just changed colors, same with the Marabou nymph.
It is all about the material. I love going to the tying shows to see what new stuff people have found. Like Jason found some COATS & CLARKS thread that is striped. You don't have to us two different colors for this fly anymore, just this thread. Or the young man that was making SCUDS out of old VHS tape.
