I used to tie some gorgeous flies all the way down to Griffiths Gnats on 22 & 24 hooks.
Then I moved to FL and the eyes of the hooks were bigger than the flies I tied.
But I was using 9 and 12 wt rods instead of a 5 wt.
In my case I like the old stuff just like I did with guns. I use bamboo rods, silk lines, and fish mostly dry flies on rivers and creeks. It's always been my passion and i've done it as long as i've shot a gun. I always knew that someday i'd be down to just fly fishing. The day has come.
