Tying Small Flies

 

Mercury Midge

I have been tying flies since the 1980’s. Generally, I avoid tying small files (size 18 or smaller) because initially I thought they would be hard to tie, now because I can’t see well enough to tie them onto my tippet. After talking with Cecil Woodman at the Branson Fly Fest, I became encouraged to try tying a few small flies (size 18 to 22).
