Rope dubbing advantageChuck, Thanks for the review. Great of you. It’ll get
even better with practice on different dubbings. Did your DVD have samples?
Don’t forget that you can rope-dub with any thread, but the mono is easiest to
learn on. Just make sure you anchor it well before and after
prayers.
I can maybe send you a group of extra PSQN flies if that would work for you.
I’ll bet the guys won’t have a problem tying one more for you.

My next thing is to learn framing and fly mounting in order to create themed

you get a combo you like, build the left side to match. Less feathers to
handle while designing.
Glad you enjoyed.
I have Wing Things, ver. 2.0 coming soon- an expansion of the technique. Lots
more follow-up tips on wing control using the Wing Thing method.

Why, oh why, does that not surprise me??
I met someone up the coast a few weeks back talking about the size of his

Mike,
Just don’t take the cayenne capsules on an empty stomach, especially with
something like hot coffee. From experience. Always eat them during a meal.
Just made a pot of beef chili with garden veggies (lots of cayenne peppers &

a great reason for wobbling when you walked. Just kidding, I’m not a drinker.

Is a parachute hackle considered a classic? Or does it need to be palmered?
