If you miss him there, they will be at the Sowbug. Ask him about the rod I made him. Tony

When I watch Norm at the shows, he creates taper with multiple passes, and I haven't seen him segment a fly yet. Maybe he does, I'll have to ask him at the next show in Denver in a few months.

LJ >>> "Don Ordes" <f...@tribcsp.com> 11/4/2010 10:52 AM >>> Larry & Joyce, Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm getting two different answers. Larry says he can't adjust the taper and distribution and Joyce says she can. See quotes below. This is a quote/review from a DVD buyer & x-professional tier: "Don, for years I twisted the dubbing along with the thread, so therefore I broke a lot of thread. I used to be a commercial fly tyer and tied lots of trout flies. You definitely have refined the roping method to where it is really practical and have helped me re-define my dubbing techniques. Tying damsel flies, dragonflies and other nymphs, warm-water flies, and small jigs suddenly became very easy. I can also see applications for when I tie flies for ice fishing. Thanks" Paul Maurer Please enlighten me. CMW2K Thanks, DonO "It stays a straight line core so you can move the dubbing up or down, thin it out or make it thicker as you desire. " Joyce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Johnson" <johns...@uvu.edu> DonO: The thread spins with the rest of the materials. Once it starts turning I cannot adjust the taper or distribution of the other materials on unless I "un-spin" it. That can be done with a little practice. Yes, I have spun the thread too tight. At that point it is very difficult to save the process because usually all the materials have nothing to hold them together. The up-side of that is that it just takes a second to re apply the thread and add more peacock, tinsel and hackle. ....
