    Default Hans, we (I) need some smaller patterns

    Love watching Hans' vids. My problem is that I tie for fishing hatches. In the Spring, that pretty much means some pretty small flies; i.e., the baetis, and the PMD.

    A size 12 or 14 BWO won't be very productive.

    I was tying some size 18 CDC Baetis Cripples and wold love to see a video on tying them in this size.
    Thanks,
    Byron

    Byron,

    I love tying small flies. The challenge is to make them showing enough detail on a video. I will see what I can do.

    The next video, already shot and compiled, but not yet on Youtube, will not be a small enough hook size for you

    Cheers,
    Hans W

    C'mon Hans. Can't we see you tying one of those Mustad 299s?

    Cheers.

    Allan, if you want to set me a challenge, you gotta do your homework



    And no, I very much doubt this will be a video candidate...

    Video tying them on a size 10 or 12. The techniques and materials are the same as if you tied them on a 18, 20 or whatever.

    There are tricks and nuances to tying quite small. IMHO
