Dubs 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Got you GP, vicente just let me know where to put your name. I also added a week to the due date, I think April 21st will work better, no rush tying but still get them back without missing much fishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2017 I guess I'll pick the adult. An adult midge on one of my new #24s will bring up the smallest trout in the pond, whereupon he will be eaten by the biggest trout in the pond and you'll have a whopper of a story to tell. NO NO NO, I'll tie something even you can get on the hook BB. March Browns are some of the bigger Mayflies but I did a bunch of them recently so I'll look for something else. Would an attractor fly like President Eisenhower's famous House and Lot fly be okay? Maybe on a 12 or 14. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2017 I'm not sure if my 12lb tippet will work on that vicrider, how about like a size 6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2017 C'mon vicente, not everyone fishes with big hairy things all the time. About the biggest you'll see of the mayfly adults is a size 10 and size 16 & 18 are much more common. BWOs are seldom any smaller than an 18 and the midges the guys fish on the tailwaters of some of the most famous and heavily fish waters usually go from 24 and down. I like tying the little guys but also like to tie some of the bigger ones where you can really concentrate on each component because you have so much room on a size 14 hook.
