After a survey of my trout fly box, I realized that I'm dangerously low on my best producing soft hackles and winged wets. This Thursday, I'll be targeting trout and half pounders, which means I'd like to have a variety of 'em at the ready.
I can't even remember the last time I tied a sz10 or smaller fly. This steelhead craze has had me tie bigger and bigger flies. Taking me further and further away from the flies that I became crazy about so many years ago.
Hopefully pictures will follow in the next few days.

I don't even bother with 18's. Not that they don't work, I just can't deal with them. The smallest I'll do are 16s. Not worth the tying hassle or trying to thread the hook while on the river, if you ask me.
I've occasionally used a 16 and just kept the material on the very top of the hook to make it appear much smaller. I'm not a fish, but I think that works. :)
