Well, I’m still at it. Practice - Practice - Practice. I’ve decided to try some #12 hooks for some Elk Hair Caddis Pattern. Did not take me long to figure out that for details I needed a magnefying glass. [:/] Wonder how Fly-Tiers manage with # 20 to 36 ??? Do they wear for glasses bottom of Coke bottle lens? [frown] What a difference it makes, but you got to find the confortable distance of the lens with the tip of your vice. Practice - Practice - Pratice [;)] ---

_ **My eyes are not young any more so in addition to wearing a pair of Ben Franklin reading glasses I wear a pair of Opti-Visors which combined provided me with all the optic power I need. BTW a good high intensity lamp is a must.** _ ``` [inline Opti-Visor.jpg] ``` ---

Thanks for the suggestion. I went to Lee Valley Tools and tried a pair on. It wasn’t good for me. No comfortable and did not like the quality and magnification of the lens. ---

[fishin] hi,lovely flies,on your buzzers instead of a heavy head try cdc in a loop when it lands on water a quick pull on line to submerge fly it will form a bubble just like a natural ready to hatch. norm [Previous page](https://forum.bigfishtackle.com/t/tying-anyone/173853.md?page=2)
