How tiny you ask ? Well,one hook went flying out of the vise clamp. Not sure what happen there, but it made a tinkle noise on the floor right behind me on the hardwood. Turn to look and well,could not see it. Wife looks and I say, you aint going to see it. Why not, is what I get. I show her a tied fly. Yup,I aint going to see that hook. LOL

So sweep the floor and well, still didn't find. Or maybe we both just did not see it.LOL

Oh man, I know what you mean. I saw it leave, I heard it hit the floor and now it's gone. Reminds me of my days rebuilding carburetors. A check ball spring decides to take off before you get it pinned; just forget about it; it's gone never to be seen again. LOL

a magnet is your friend.  Or of course you can use your bare foot, it will find a hook without fail.

olive scud

Really like this tie. Great for a fresh water shrimp IMO .

[Gil Levesque]

Scuds are a killer fly! If they are natural in the water ur fishing! Abit of work to tie in smaller sizes!  Sawyers Killer bugs are  better ! If i knew someone from Orangeville,i could get the special wool needed to tie them! Anyone from Orangeville on here?

[simonb]

I use the furled leaders regularly; love them.  Little tip from experience; do not use in extreme shoulder seasons.  The furled leader builds ice like dipping a candle wick; then when reeling in and not watching it broke the tip of my rod!

Very nice Brian!
