Struggling to on your flies? Try a gadget
like a "Quick eye threader" or the fly boxes that you thread your flies onto a
wire like a bobbin threader and then slip the flies onto your tippet. Shouldnt
need reading glasses cheapo or expensiveo for that

Chuck:
I use reading glasses all the time. For both tying and
fishing. You don't want to know what I paid for my graduated trifocals
or my regular reading glasses, but I won't take them out on the stream with
me. My fishing and tying glasses I pick up at BJ's, the problem is the
max magnification you can by these days is 2.75X and that's where I'm at right
now. I'll experience some fuzziness if I switch from the el cheapos to
the prescription glasses. Your problem may be that if the new glasses
are "optically correct" you may have to hold whatever your tying on a bit
further away or closer to get it in focus. Give that a try and see what
happens.

Folks... Anybody who uses reading glasses.. I Have a question... I
have used
the old dollar pairs for yrs.. I have em all over the house, in
my car, in
my tackle box, in the "reading room" LOL... and when I
need a stronger
power, I just throw them out, and buy a dozen more
pair... Well, while back.
I was gonna buy me a fancy pair.. Went to the
optical center, and paid about
$30 fo ra pair, and I can't see squat
through those expensive ones... Go
figure... They were supposed to be
more "Optically correct"... But they just
give me a headache and make
everything squiggly... I guess my eyeballs got
used to the dollar
specials.. Anybody else had this happen???? I tried to
tie on flies
yesterday with that higher priced pair, and luckily had a
dollar pair in
my tackle box, or I'd never have gotten to fish LOL,
