Re: [VFB] Size 32's flies and insanity setting in!.....

This may be a strange observation....  but I think the 32 gold mustad was actually a little stronger than the 28 mustad.   Maybe Don O has an opinion.   I did tie it very carefully.   It doesn't have an eye and maybe the small size of it actually makes it seem a little stronger.  I didn't break the 32.  Thank goodness since I only had one chance.  Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: J&A Burbank To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 11:21 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Size 32's flies and insanity setting in!..... Deb,  Keep at it, you'll get it. I tried the 28s a while back and broke the first one, then recently I got them back out and managed a couple of very nice Adams. Now to tie one with the cree that Jeff sent me.   Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Duran To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2003 6:01 AM Subject: [VFB] Size 32's flies and insanity setting in!..... Allan Well I decided to get out my midge kit....  courtesy of Allan Fish and Don O.   You see Hans sent me a wee hook (size 32 gold mustad) and the only material I could think of to fit the wee hook was in my box of stuff you guys sent me.....     Well I was going to tie a Royal Trude to match Don O's Coachman.  I decided to start with the 28's you sent me to "warm up" and practice my idea.   Well two broken 28's later I'm down to tying an Adams....   one more 28 later it becomes some kind of an emerger with a mallard tail and polypropelene wing.  <vbg>   But I do have SEGMENTS!!  I'm quite proud of my self until Byard reminds me that Hans blows everything up larger than life!!!!   I need a second chance ....    May be next year......   aaaauuuugh!
