These work great for 18 and smaller flies. I cannot see the eye of the hook, to pass the tippet thru. That is why I rely so heavily on the threaders. I can have all my teeny flies on threaders and use them when I am out on the water.
I am planning on tying 28 and 30s for my trip to the San Juan River in NM in two weeks. Thank You, Alan Di Somma Phoenix, AZ.

It was dead calm and the river was as smooth as glass.This is not normal when they are releasing water from the dam. I watched a while and then could not stand it any longer, I had to give it a try. I keep a rod ready under the porch but I had a Froggie tied on the leader so I had to change to a trout fly. This took me at least ten minuets as my eyesight is not what it used to be. I tied on a sz 16 Green Mylar body Soft Hackle that was a killer the last time I was on the river. Got down to the dock and made a few casts, no takes. Then two boats came past my dock right through the feeding lane. This put the trout down. Waited a bit and the rises started again. Made a few more casts and still no takes. Switched over to a Brown Soft Hackle, another ten minuets lost. There was a steady riser and I cast a bit above and upstream from it. That was a take. A nice 14"+ Rainbow. Cast to a few more rises that yielded another two more Rainbows in the 14" class. In a sloppy cast I hit the dock rail that broke off my fly. It was the only one I had like it. I tied on another soft hackle with a Peacock Herl body. No takes and then tried another with still no takes. These two were sz 14 flies. I guess they wanted the smaller flies. By this time my legs and back had given out so I decided to call it quits. I had been on the dock almost an hour. As I was leaving I heard a big splash. Waited a bit and watched the area where I heard the splash. Sure enough It came up again clean out of the water. This trout had to be at least a three pound fish. What a thrill to see a Trout that big come full body out of the water. It cleared the water by several inches. I did not know what it was taking ,I could not see any bugs on the surface. That made my day. Arkansas Tony -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
