Deb, There are a half-dozen 'weaves' that have been around from before Torill & I were born (Although Dr. D invented them). Her claim to fame was in her crochted-style tying, with extended bodies. http://www.kaliningrad-fishing.ru/zhur-sr/008-2005/statja-005-1.html She too faced the problem of weaving beyong the bend of the hook for making extended bodies. So she crochted the tail extension and wellah!
I met her in Denver at the ISC show years ago (was there with Mustad). Very nice lady. Had all the guys going, too, as she is pretty. Not me, though. But Buggs, well, he's a rabbit.

I pull those pictures out when ever I get a bug to work on my woven flies. Now his flies I haven't even considered attempting yet. I'll have to get in touch with him again if I ever get that brave. Once he told me how many threads were involved I decided I would probably end up tying myself to the hook. He takes it to a whole new level! I tried to convince him he needed to write a book on weaving but I don't think he was convinced. LOL He's a very nice guy.

(I have the real one on: http://www.roja.se/flugfiskaren/monster/monster_visa.asp?val=visa&ID=386) Not saying it would make her proud, but still miscellanious facts. ;o) /Nick On 5/22/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I just got Deb Duran's Woven Parachute to complete Jimmy D's March Madness Swap.
