Reply To: Smallest practical flies.

Hi, Guys, 24’s and 26’s, Wow. I have tied some 22’s Barr’s Emergers and I can’t get them on the tippet half the time. I can’t see well enough I guess even with the cheaters but I like fishing them and I believe that smaller may be the best way to fish on the Current some days. There are a few flies in our tying page that I want to try but haven’t attempted. I purchase some Big Eye hooks from Orvis so that will help with the dry flies. I didn’t realize Daiichi made them as well. Now I need big eye emerger and nymph hoof heavy enough for the monster Brown I plan to catch.
