[edit] Removed Redirect to Fly Lure and Added Content
Although the term fly lure maybe a recognized British term for artificial flies, it is not well supported in current or historical literature that I can find. Whereas, the term Artificial fly was historically used by both American and European fly fishing writers well into the 20th Century.--Mike Cline (talk) 19:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge proposal for Fly lure
Other than the existance of the term: Fly lure (which is not supported by any citations showing it as a term in general use as opposed to Artifical fly), there is nothing in the Fly lure article than isn't covered in the Artificial fly article. The How To stuff is inappropriate in its own right and should be discarded or incorporated into a Trout Fishing article. Personally I feel the Fly lure page need merely be a redirect to Artificial fly. Try as I might, I have really been unable to find any current or historical literature that uses the term Fly lure as a consistent substitute for Artificial fly. Even in online catalogs, the term is not used consistently as a replacement for Artifical fly but mostly as a catch all category for flies not easily placed in the cataloge's other categories. If I am wrong here, please point me in the right direction with some good citations.--Mike Cline (talk) 13:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
