But will the squid know? David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niclas Runarsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 5:08 PM Subject: SV: [VFB] Crease Fly
I just figured out another way. Simple logic: "Negative + Negative = Positive". I just turn the chair around. Sitting backwards and wrapping backwards = Tying "forwards" /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r David Colyn Skickat: den 23 juni 2004 05:13 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [VFB] Crease Fly /Nick If you sit on your desk and wriggle your left foot, the tying is much easier. <VBG> David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niclas Runarsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 4:53 PM Subject: SV: [VFB] Crease Fly I tied some squids backwards. The only difference I noticed was a lot more frustration with wrapping counter-clockwise... probably a matter of training. I guess I don't have the patience for experimenting. ;o) /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r David Colyn Skickat: den 23 juni 2004 04:57 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [VFB] Crease Fly Fish alive! Its going to be me and that vice again this weekend. You have been a great help Deb. Would you tie the squid backwards ??
