Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Why did you post a pic of the tip of your vise? Oh...wait...there's a fly there. Didn't see it. That is tiny. Great job. SaltyDog and Futzer will be chiming in! Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Legg 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Nice job! :headbang: I'll bet you could dress a flea if you put your mind to it. You'd have to get it in the vise first, though. BTW... I like your tying instructions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fly_fischa 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Nice tie Cyprinid Carpio, didn't realise that carp would bother with such a flea sized morsel Looking at your other database submissions you've taken it to opposite extremes, well done :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the saltydog 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Great job on that little guy, believe it or not but the wings could be a bit shorter! The tail is perfect as is the body dimensions. Around here in later summer, that would certainly do the trick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classic tier 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I bet if you breathed whilst tying one of those onto your leader, you'd breath it in without knowing. Great fly! :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, I think my scissors are too thick to take off the small amount needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the saltydog 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Time to buy smaller scissors, oh and a midge bobbin, perhaps a new vice that has more access around the hook, maybe some new micro materials, and a light.... be careful its a sickness and you might catch it!

stonefly1 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Impressive! I don't even want to think about trying to fish that thing, you never see it if it is more than 2 ft away. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wyotyer 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2010 Holy cow. They don't make magnifiers strong enough for me to try a fly that small. Maybe a microscope. I used to tie down to 24, but now 22 is the smallest I can tie. Over 50 eyesight sucks. I didn't know anyone made a vice that fit anything smaller than a 28. But seriously, great job.
