J. Hise, I tried to use one of those no-knot clips on the end of my tippet until a guy gave me a nbr 22 ant to put on. The clip would not go through the eye. One of the first things I learned so I got rid of those. I then had to buy a magnifier to tie on the little flies. Learning is fun but sometimes expensive. Those little ants did catch fish and I was pleased. Now I have to read some more out of the book "Flyfishing for Dummies" before I ask some more questions. Thanks for the responses.

May all your catch be lunkers.
