I've gone for something smaller this time, it is only an 18, but I have trouble with anything smaller.



I have altered this to #22, I was not looking properly when I took the hook out of the box,
I was watching the golf at Carnoustie on TV at the same time as I tied the fly.
I have just checked the hook size.
It looks like I can tie smaller than I thought.

Here is the recipe -

Hook: Capt Hamilton Dry Fly #22.
Thread: Black Unithread 8/0
Body: Fine black dubbing.
Wing: White Antron.
Hackle: Small grizzle.
