lonefisher Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 not gonna claim to be an expert but I would tie some a bit smaller as I have seen em real small in adult form..... like size 20...... that said I dunno if you need to tie your nymphs that small depends on the hatch where your fishin em. If your fishing the athabasca in winter you want some tinies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 what size should i be tieng these in i did a couple in like a size 12, wondering if i should go smaller localanglr, Put one on the other day for the first time, given to me by a friend to demo. I would say size 14. It lasted 2 casts before something big broke it off. Those look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhurt Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Local, Here are some #12 that I tied up last night (Tied some #16 this morning, hoping to get out today to test them out) As one of my fishing mentor's once said to me, How do you know if they will work or not if you haven't tried fishing them?
