Eek!



Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.

The way I figure it is if they need to eat a skillion of them they will have no problem gobbling up my one lone floater.

By the way how many zeros in a skillion??

I believe 1 Skillion is: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

 

But don't hold me to it Big Grin

 Keep in mind guys, micro hooks are just about made of, and about as soft as puppy shit.Surprised  They straighten out with a harsh hook set even on a 1 weight.

 

The best way to fish the tiny flies is to cast out and catch a minnow. Then live line the minnow. When Mr big inhales the shiner, let him swaller it good. Say maybe a half hour or better so it gets down in his craw good. 

 

Then gently skid em in Eek!

 What I have been told about the fish taking these almost impossible to see flies is. They not only take them but when hooked the fish go nuts . Guess they are surprised something that small has a hook in it. Here is my first try at size 26 Size 22 on top size 26 on bottom in first picture.  I will try to get a better picture of my first size 26 Renegade

WhoooHooo!! my size 32 hooks are here!!

Holly crap batman these things are tiny...I lost one taking it out of the package with tweezers, broke one in the vise, finally got one tied.

I need to get some thinner thread the 8/0 is way too big and my 14/0 is the wrong color.
