Hans, Howdy;

Very happy to see the video for this one. Also, because it also shows
that some materials that a novice might throw away (damaged hackle feather),
that can turn out to be very useful indeed.. many times thanks...

Hank,

There is a small measure of method to my madness at times

Hans,
Once again you have educated me, showing how to expand my tying repertoire far beyond its simple techniques.
Combining the barb collar, noodle, and split thread all on one hook poses a great alternative to the pre-spun dubbing loop.
I will try to build up the nerve to give this a try.
Your video technique has often received well-deserved praise. Not only is the photography sharp and well-lit, your soft-spoken narrative is succinct and informative. Your soothing tones help calm the viewer's attack of tying anxiety.

Thanks for this wonderful post, and the dedication.

Lance
