Thanks Tim. I tie this in #20 and #22 but use ONE strand of crystal flash for the trailing shuck. Has seemed to work very very well

Everytime I see Z-lon with a good close up lens, I am amazed. What a great and versatile material !

Another nice ,simple tie. Thanks.I enjoy fishing tiny flies and when the fish are on them that's all they want usually. Fishing tiny midges and olives is the way to extend your dry fly fishing for sure.

Matt actually is from Virginia. He was guiding in Co when he developed this pattern.

What Kind of Saddle ist used for very small Flies? I buy a Metz microbarb Saddle and a Withing Saddle but the Metz was only 10 size 20 Feathers and the Withing was not smaller than 16.
