You are so correct, Mike. No interpretation required or asked for.
Stay safe,

Re: The smallest changes
Mike,
My initial comment, smilie included, was a light tease in your direction. You have a stated preference for shorter shank hooks for spider patterns. Dave sometimes uses longer shank hooks, and I mostly fit in the middle.
Dave is not upset, as he stated. I certainly am not upset. No 'souring' going forward if I can help it.
Cheers,
Hans W

Re: The smallest changes
I, for one, certainly hope Mike doesn't follow through on his stated intention of quitting this forum -- I will greatly miss his wealth of knowledge and bent for practicality.

Re: The smallest changes
Isn't it interesting that only one little word ("nymph") created all this discussion. I find it ironic that the name of this post is "The smallest changes". Had the word been different, this thread would have likely been entirely different as well.
Mike - I personally do not think this discussion has soured future communications on this board. This type of misunderstandings/discussions are very rare on this forum. One of the things I enjoy about this site is the free and open discussions of a topic we all love. You bring a great deal to the discussion and I know I have learned a lot. I sincerely hope you choose to continue your participation here.
Dave/Hans/Mike/All - Now can we change the subject and get back to discussing important things, like when is a fly a "nymph" or a "soft hackle"? (*humor*

Yes sadly, The Smallest Changes can have a massive impact.

Re: The smallest changes
I agree with Mike.
Nice Nymphs.
Short hackle , about the sixe of a wing case and legs when compared to the body = Short Hackled Nymph. There are chapters written about this in Important Classic Wingless Wet books.
Skues, Leisenring, McGee and others I am sure.
