That was probably before my time but what makes me happy is thread and glue not just one. My last fishing outting though I do remember a stretch of very narrow spring creek where I made a cast, put it into the far bank bush and broke it off, then tied up everything new including nice fluro tippet and a very pretty fly only to put it in the same bush and break it off again. Those two flies I could have tied with no hackle or thread, forgot about the glue and they would have been just as effective on the fish as they were at that very moment.

In all seriousness if the flies last a couple of fish that is probably just fine if that makes you happy.
