I for one am SOOOOOooo glad Hans took the time to make those videos. He does so many things in tying that make me go, "Now how the h*** did he do that?" When he gives up his techniques I feel like a thief trying to use them... :lol:

A great technique for finding out if your using quality materials...... the cheap stuff snaps when you twist it befor it becomes a rope!

Works with the good stuff though ;) . Thanks for sharing Hans.

Yep, it is a pretty reliable quality control check for sure :twisted:

Been there, done that, lived to tell about it...

LOL - I have no time for tying secrets, nor those who are so small minded to withhold from others what information they can share 8-)

A very nice simple fly and technique Hans.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about secrets.
