I'm tying midges and blue-winged olives this week, and I'm wondering what hook is just too small.
I think I'm going to tie midges down to size 24 and blue-winged olives -- and tricos -- down to 22 this time around. I do see that I own 100 size 26 tiemco hooks -- they look like metallic dryer lint -- but my 47-year-old eyes can't get happy over tying so small -- even while wearing glasses.
What is you smallest fly hook?
