Unfortunately, mine was in the broke category. Hans sent me one. I tied and retied to get my proportions right. Even the smallest hackle I had was too large so I carefully trimmed it. I had tied a royal coachmen and I had to split the thread to get it small enough. I had it all done and was tying it off and the hook broke. I was crushed. I spent more time on that microfly than any before. Oh well, it was an experience. I just wish I had been able to complete it without it breaking.
