Dave, thank you VERY much for the help. I really appreciate it.

You're welcome.

One other thing: Don't worry too much if your fly doesn't look
perfect. I found my all time "lucky fly" in the jaw of a 22 inch
landlocked salmon. Over a period of about two years, I used that fly
on and off. It always caught fish. I don't know what it was supposed
to look like new, because when I removed it from the fish's jaw, it
was already torn up. It just got worse every time I used it until it
was finally little more than a little bit of golden brown dubbing on a
size 16 scud hook (after lots of repairs). I finally lost it. I
tried unsuccessfully to copy it. I can not imagine what the fish saw
in it, but it did work.
