Fishnfellas. I took your advice on tying smaller flies. I now use a magnifining glass(not spelled correct is it)like you said and I'm now down to size 18. I think that I'm getting better now because instead of just 3 I'm up to 10. At this rate I should have enough for the Summer. Jim S.

Good going Jim. I figured that would help even if ya don't have a steady hand anymore. Average size of stuff the fish eat in lakes anyhow is size 14-16. Most guys tie most patterns too big....leaches excluded.
I seldom tie anything much below size 18 though. You can get most bugz right enuff with a range of #12-18.
