Great video as usual. Never tied smaller than size 20 - problem I have is seeing small flies on the water which doesn't help when the fish are sipping them in.

Used a similar pattern for grayling a lot on 26 to 32 hooks. Heron hearl body, black or grizzly parachute, but on a cylindrical 2 mm white foam post, cut at the stem to avoid any wind drift. Barely visible, but just enough for me and a deadly fly at close range.

Old VMC's. Don't shoot me if I have the number wrong, but I think it was BZ 9287.

So... We are practically doomed.... Tmc is apparently discontinued... Probably VMC.....

I've been pondering about this, when I was still fishing, and the only solution I could come up with for micro-flies was tying them on spade end competition hooks with a foot of tippet attached. The problem was the fish kept going for the micro-loops.

Than tie the loop near some bigger hook

Not joking, I knew a good competition angler who wreaked havoc with a "nylon" dry fly.

What brand and diameter tippet do you use with this small flies?

I used Water Queen nylon 0.08 and 0.065. Later on Sensas Competition 0.075. A micrometer was essential in finding what I needed.

Varivas do a very good 9X . . . but it's often difficult to source.

Sufix fluorocarbon, some chinese no name 0.08 nylon with pike on the spool...
