Well, since they are a gift, I believe that they are GREAT! AND, if he catches fish with them, it is even better!! I am not very picky as you can tell, I have caught trout on many types of flies so when some say this is for this type of fish and this one is for this other type, I start to question it. I have caught most all types if trout here with a mosquito pattern which some people tell me the trout don't eat. ?????? Oh, and as for size, I can't SEE smaller than an 18 or 20, let alone get the leader thru that ittybitty HOLE!! I envy those that can get those big fish to net with those SMALL flies. I hope your friend truely learns to enjoy this great sport, and even maybe join this sight.
PS got any more?? Oh, I really shouldn't ask, I tie. I should also add, I use the elk hare, the adams, and the hare's ear a bit myself though not smaller than a 16!
