DonO,
 
These are amazing.  Having tied a 32 Mustad once, I can attest to their tinyness and difficulty.  This raises a question now though.  I have never fished any that small.  Has anyone on the list?  What was the smallest fly fished?  Anything caught?  What was the largest?

There's some photos here of 32's, but not the one I sent to TOm.  I've done Wulff's, trudes, wets, an reg dries.  THe hardest thing to find & get right is #32 hackle.  And now the ol' eyes just ain't what they used to be.  I can still tie them, but I have to tie when my eyes aren't tired, or else they have a hard time focusing.

I'm crushed they didn't show a picture of the #32 with swept back wings.  How could they tell they were swept back?  Microscope?  Got a pic at fantasyflys.com?

I met Tom Zacoi years ago when he obtained a few of my flies for his collection, which is really quite awesome.  His fly-boxes were featured on the cover of Flyfisherman magazine years ago.  Does anyone know him?  He's in the Pittsburg area.  Heck of a nice guy- almost as nice as Byard.
