Tying small flies


I got frustrated very fast the first time I sat down to try and tie some size 24 and 26 tricos. I've started to get the hang of it though. Thoughts on the proportions? Yes, that's a beer bottle cap they are resting on. That's how small they are.

Mustad dry fly hook
Uni-Thread Black 8/0
Microfibbets tail (light dun)
Beaver dubbing (thorax)
White GloBug yarn (wing on top fly)
White Flouro Fiber (wings on bottom fly)

  3. I couldn't tie them on any more than I could tie them. They look nice though.
