Hey Fly Tiers...What's In The Vise?

[oatkasut]

Those look big to me, maybe 14 or 16's.!I have been using 20-22 tricos for the last 4 months. The biggest fish I have landed is  on a  trico is around 20 inches. My buddy caught a 24 incher on a size 32, the smallest fly  there is I think.

Size 32…ha…ha….ha! Finding those hooks in the package would be the first challenge.

I'll bet ..ide loose every one of them ...how can you even tie them on a line? Couldn't even see if I was even casting a fly

I don't think I've ever seen a #32.  Come to think of it, I don't believe I could see a #32. How many can you fit on a pencil eraser.?

I couldn’t possibly tie flies that small. Even, with glasses…😁
Rumor has it that bass tourney fishing has come to an end for KP….🤔. there are a couple bamboo fly rods that need reels and line. Oh, and, to get dusted off, of course!😎

I’ll still bass fish!😄

You need a couple classic reels for those rods KP. I know a guy who might let go of a couple of these.

You're far too kind my friend! I couldn’t possibly take from your collection. However, I would take some lessons on how to set those rods up, with some time on the water, of course!!😎

Come on down Larry!  Nice egg bite now.

I never heard of a size 32 either. Need the electron microscope to tie those.

If anybody is looking to buy fly reels now Orvis has the Battenkill click and pawl reel on sale for 69 bucks, just saying. I'm going to pick one up.

Here's something bigger. Got the foam bag out, first attempt at an Amy's Ant in red and is a whopping size 10.

My collection is aging. It’s a past pursuit. They’re totally available. At some point, a person needs to pass things on to people who will make use. My wood shop goes to my son……in time.

Lessons are a joint venture. All I can say is slow. Those rods are slow by modern standards. Setup is an individual circumstance. Cortland Sylk is my favorite for the Boo. Casts a bit slower and easier. Both advantages.  Makes for a relaxing day.

I’d practice in the yard for a bit to get the rhythm if I were you……and I have…..a lot.

  I'm not even sure if I want to believe that's real. How could you possibly work with something like that. You're tippet would have to be like a human hair.    Got Me !

[BBLoon]

That is why I thought I better say according to the source. It is certainly open for discussion on the authenticity of the picture. 👍

[oatkasut]

Both Mustad and Tiemco sell #32 fly hooks with eyes and you can get them with a spade end, no eye but you tie your tippet material on with a lashing type knot.
