According to local fly-fishing personality Jay Nicholas, how flies are actually named by their creators often-times promotes a culture of vulgar misogyny and sexual violence.
"I'm sitting here at my keyboard, paralyzed. My hands trembling. Heart pounding. Squinting at the monitor through tears. I've written hundreds of posts for the Oregon Fly Fishing Blog, but this is the highest stakes article I've ever had the courage to write. And that's odd, because it shouldn't require courage to write this, but somehow I know that writing about this topic involves breaking a taboo. The taboo of calling out my fellow anglers and our industry for inexcusable behavior. Here goes. Sex Dungeon. Read the words aloud, please. Now tell me what the words mean. I know it is a fly name. Anyone who fishes for trout with streamers knows what it is, but I want you to stop for a minute, think, and tell me what the words mean. Do you think the words are funny?" ... The entire article is here, along with many comments. And for reference, here's the Sex Dungeon fly pattern. Looks pretty cool. I will probably tie some up tonight for my upcoming Idaho trip.

That's trash.
Go fly fishing and fuck what other people think about it. Pretty soon using forks and spoons will be called promoting sexual violence against women. |

Is that actually a real thing, using sexual innuendo to name flies?
Also, at a time in history when every other person is pushing the envelope on what is decent in this world, who the f cares? Oh, it's old white men saying it, that's why it's a problem...if it was a 20 year old black transqueer college student, it would be "liberating!" |

My favorite streamer is called the “woolly bugger”.
Ain’t no sexual violence in that. Caught more big trout on it than I can count too. |

Why WOULDN'T you name a refreshing beverage "Dickens Cider"? Why the fuck not? It's not like women don't have their own stupid little sexist names for shit like "Battery Operated Boyfriend". People are just too fucking sensitive. It's like sometime in the late 20th Century, some cabal of illuminati got together and unanimously decided that the one thing we all needed less of was a sense of humor. And to be frank, the ability to laugh at stupid shit is probably the ONLY thing that keeps a LOT of people from going nutso and climbing a clock tower with a high powered rifle. I'm just sayin'. |

BREAKING: The manufacturer of "sex dungeon" has decided to change the name of the fly to "transgender identity".

I'm at work, I could say sex dungeon right now and earn nothing more than a confused look. |

Just wait until he discovers the names of a whole bunch of mixed drinks and how it promotes sexual violence against bartenders. How am I ever supposed to teach my granddaughter how to mix a "sex on the beach" or a "bleeding asshole"? Okay, I made that last one up but I'm damn sure gonna invent a drink I can give that name to.

Wait until they start to look at rock climbing route names from the past. First person to create a route gets to name a route. Early days had mostly young men creating routes and naming them like any young man would do.
Looks like they already are: https://www.thelily.com/climbing-routes-are-riddled-with-racist-and-misogynistic-names-meet-the-people-trying-to-change-it-all/ |

Kelly Galloup created most of these flies and now he’s next on the chopping block.
A number of fly fishing companies have slowly been going work to try and appeal to a demographic that frankly ain’t that into fly fishing. This is just another attempt to blame “male patriarchy” instead of just accepting that women aren’t as into fly fishing as men. |

It could have been worse. One of those things could have been called wet ass pussy and then someone might make a song about it and then our world would be replaced by a clown world.
Some argue it is already worse. Honk. |

Now we need to invent a bunch of lures and call them the absolute most degenerate things possible.

At least we finally know that AR's are for the battlefield and not for the farm.

Freshwater fly fishermen do weird stuff. In saltwater it's a shrimp fly, crab fly, tarpon fly or minnow fly. Much simpler.

My largest brown trout to date was a 26” caught on a white Butt Monkey.
Much funner to tell people that than to say a weighted wool, head articulated bunny leech. |
