I love fishing with dry flies however I have tremendous difficulty tieing the real small ones to the leader with an 8X tippett. One thing I have tried with some success is this little device meant for threading a sewing needle. It doesn't work for flies smaller than #12 because the wire doesn't fit through the hook eyelet. It works really well for Elk Hair Caddis and Muddler Minnows when the eylet is covered by hair from the fly. This sewing gaget is easy to loose also because it is not easy to attach to a vest.
Yesterday I was doubling the magnification of my glasses by looking through the bifocals and a pair of flip up glasses, but I was still having trouble threading the #14 and smaller flies.
Anyone have suggestions?
Alos what knot do people use?
