Hi Steven,

At last, I've taken the Midge measurements, working as best I can around =
my wraps.
0" @ tip top =3D .068
5" =3D .077
10" =3D .097
15" =3D .117
20" =3D .125
25" =3D .142
30" =3D .147
35" =3D .171
36.25" =3D .175 ( just short of the wraps, on the tip male ferrule )
37" from tip top to seat of male ferrule.
2.375" =3D .196 ( from end of female ferrule to end of wrap )
5" =3D .197
10" =3D .210
15" =3D .212
20" =3D .226
25" =3D .228
30" =3D .240
31" =3D .242 (@ front of grip)
Total length of butt section =3D38"

Total grip =3D 7", including reel seat. Over all length 6'-3"

I hope this helps. It will be interesting to compare mine with others =
made later. I got mine shortly after he listed it in his catalog.

  Has anyone noticed that the tapers in the Rodmakers taper file and the =
one in Howell's book are quite different from each other? I'd like to =
feel a little more confident about which numbers to use. I have read =
that Paul Young's rods had a lot of variance among the same models. Does =
anyone have a PHY midge taper that is different , or that confirms =
either one of the ones I mentioned?
  Steve
