Hi everyone,
  Sorry for not posting an update on the Team Colors swap until now, but it is 
going to be sent as soon as this one is done being typed.  Last few days have 
been crazy, time-wise.

  Anyhow, I was reading a past issue of Fly Tyer, I think in the early 80's 
(81?), and it said that you can make homemade gut by twisting 3 strands of 
mono, heating in boiling water, then quick-freezing in ice-water.  

  I'm curious of three things:  What size mono?  Has anyone else done this?  Is 
there a better way to make gut- substitute for blind-eye hooks?

  I've seen some use old/ used fly line as a gut substitute, but that just 
isn't for me.  I'm looking for the tri-twisted gut look and feel (for both 
display and fishing purposes).

Thanks a ton in advance, and (as always) tight wraps,
Pete
