Good discussion topic, I agree that it begins to cross the line over to bait fishing. To me the whole idea of fly fishing is the challenge of attracting fish with something that mimics natural food (though I suppose that some patterns don't do that very well).

Also keep in mind that in Washington anything that attracts a fish with taste or sent is considered bait, and therefore cannot be used in selective fishery waters, such as the Yakima, Rocky Ford, etc.
