No no no, Rene. You misunderstood me. I'm talking a STRIPPED hook swap. That's a TOTALLY different thing. (Scratches from razor blade, small thread rests etc...) ;o) Too late to send them in... I've already started re-tying. But it's going smooothly now. They weren't okay in my own eyes, but I've satisfied with the new ones. I guess I can say I've had some training. I've tied around 50 so far... different variations, discarded ones, less good but saved for own use (plus the "waiting to be discarded ones").
But now it's "rockin' and rollin'"... my ring rust is almost gone. The new flies won't take long. Will be airborn quite soon. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Rene Zillmann Skickat: den 6 juli 2004 21:13 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: [VFB] Stonefly Swap idea...
