I guess I would consider myself in the beginning stages of level 2 although if I am not careful my wife will take me straight to level DEAD. I used a baggy of really good looking yellow brownish hair I found on the kitchen table to tie up a couple dozen nymphs this stuff was amazing and i cussed myself for taking it out of it's original packaging it was very fine yet kinda stiff and soft at the same time. Come to find out it was what was left from my sons first haircut so instead of a bag of hair in his baby book he now has a wonderful fly stuck in a small piece of cork. I can't wait for him to need another haircut I am running low on Kenny nymphs. Oh and dog hair works very well, I brush my labs almost weekly just for this reason , I have both yellow and black and am considering getting a chocolate so I can expand my tying a bit more.
