vicrider 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2021 As I am struggling my way through the second set of flies for this I'm coming to realize my hands just ain't up for these little guys anymore. Mostly getting shaky trying to go really small. I used to tie on 32s and sent several to people when the hooks were available. Now 26s are giving me troubles. After this swap I'm going to work on tying up as many of my 20-32 hooks as I can and give up ordering anything smaller than an 18 anymore. I'll have the little guys if I ever need them but for the most part 14-16 covers most mayfly and caddis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarrellP 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 Ok. Done. My new glasses, and my table mounted magnifying lens made it possible. 10/0 was almost too large a thread! I have met Ed Engle and somehow he remains a decent, friendly guy even though he ties much smaller. I think I should go back to tying Buggers and Steelhead flies! My wife objected to my language while I tied these. She said "I thought fly tying was supposed to be fun." Seriously, these flies really tried me.

DarrellP 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2021 On the way. I think Wooly Buggers and Clousers are more in my "Wheel House". I did learn a few things. I tied them similar to an RS2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
