I've been tying a few micropatterns for discodazz. #30 and 32...talk about small! My optician wants a word with you, dude!

here are some of them - even the macro setting struggles with this lot!

Four reactions.

1. Wow!!! Beautifully tied!

2. You've got to fish these on a two weight or less right?

3. How in the world do you tie them on without a magnifing glass to get the tippet through the eye?

4. Going to be real interesting getting a hook up with that small a hook!

Well done Gus. Anything below size 18, even with a magnifier is out of the question for me. I'm jealous

Gus, Very nice work, liking those a great deal.
Have you ever tried an RS2? One of my favorites on rivers and works well in small sizes.
