Thanks for all of the replies to this problem. Scott... This is a prime example of why you should stay on the list. I asked a question yesterday and got lots of help... in 24 hours. The first reply that contained precisely the information I needed came in 17 minutes after I posted my problem. (Thanks again [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Several other people posted good alternatives. Now that's what I call service.
If you've hit a snag, others have encountered it before (that's why all of those flies are on that same stick). The great thing about the people on this list is that they are more than willing to help you with it--they're enthusiastic about helping you with it. Thanks again guys and gals...

I have gone to the braided loop. I know, some people hate them and others love them. After I found the ones I like , that is all I will use. I am not a dry fly fisher, the loop may not be the best for dry fly fishing. I am only guessing. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dean Larson wrote: > Hi All > I'm giving an opinion again.
