The one thing I was doing right was removing the soft underhair, but using the stacker does help get everything lined up and straight. When I began visualizing an amount of hair about the size of a wooden matchstick, it all fell into place! I just have to remember that the matchstick is smaller for a #16 hook than for a #12.....

So now I'm looking at 3 flies that all pretty much look alike, and wondering if I can wait more than 3 days to try them out.

Thanks so much for all the help! Now does anyone know anything about a 1040 form? Looks like today is doomsday, but I'm ready to fish!
Or as Ebeneezer Scrooge and the IRS folks like to say "Harvest Time".LOL
