tying tiny flies sucks
I generally have fat clumsy fingers and tying tiny flies sucks. My eyes hurt, my chest is filled with frustration and it takes three times longer to make a single fly. I’m ganna throw away my small hooks and only tie flies size 16 and up. I know the small flies are great for fishing in winter and when trout are nervous, but damn it – I can’t tie them. I’ll buy them or perhaps some of my friends with more nimble fingers will give me a bunch as a present ;-)

IMHO- there is only one small fly worth tying. The brassie. in different colors. every trout eats them all year.
ReplyDeletei still wonder how you could possibly tie any flies with your fat fingers. i will sell you my small flies dirt cheap - a half of what orvis offers. ㅋㅋ
ReplyDeleteseriously... i love my yong specials.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? your fly looks good! 잠깐! 너 자랑할려고 올린거지 얌생아
ReplyDeletethanks for the advice mrlee. brassie is one that I can do without going out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteI'll definately take you up on that offer soboro, and you know we both have fat hands.

I don't tie anything smaller than a size 20 hook. If i really need to tie something smaller, i will still use the size 20 hook but "try" to keep the flie's body smaller.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment goneflyfishing!
ReplyDeleteI love tiny flies. But then again I don't tie....yet that is. That little prince nymph is my trusty standby. Little copper john's and pheasant tails are great too. Although mrlee's comment will have me stocking up a few brassies for sure.
