I thought it was a great DVD, in spite of the viewJ You have my other comments. thanks I tried the alpaca two ways; tying in the tips & tying in the middle of the bunch. Tying in the middle was more difficult, but made for a thicker dub. Not necessarily a valid adaptation of the technique. there are no invalid adaptations of the technique. Just try what you're trying to acheive different ways, not just one. There's a few ways to have the very back end thicker, and flatter, and with larger segments. If you're working with llama, don't double it over. Just tie it down at the front of the shank, flat-rope back to the bend, then reverse tight-rope it back to the front. See if this is the profile you want. Haven't used other materials yet, 'cause I've been busy & need to redo the flies for the swap. Looking forward to using other materials. I like the results much better than doing it the way I was, getting more consistent results & better segmenting. You should be doing it in around hald the time, because llama dubs fairly quick, depending on how you were doing it.

Would like to get some comments: a.. Your thoughts on the DVD and ease of transition into tying- b.. Your first tries at rope-dubbing- c.. Your re-tries (re-ties) at rope-dubbing and the extensions- d.. Your overall opinion of the results you're getting: ease of adaptation, speed, dubbing results, fun, etc. If you're having a problem, go ahead and bring it out. Don't be shy. I spent an entire afternoon at a fly-show with a 25 year veteran professional tier/guide coaching him on getting a perfect rope-dubbed dry fly body. His problem- doing it so long one way made him want to do it the same way. DonO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
