I think I will invest in a magnification light for sure. I use a NorVise and only have the standard jaws - I wonder if that's part of the problem? Perhaps I should spring for the "fine point conversion" jaws. I do love fishing the small stuff, just not liking tying it right now.

Could also be that tying with poor light at the kitchen table after shoveling a snow drift from the end of the driveway has something to do with my disposition. Perhaps a Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA or 2 might improve my bad attitude. Dang shack nasties, come on spring!
