Tony,
I won't be coming this year. I wish I could but work is pretty heavy. I will
envy all who make it.

I agree Tony on the Eagle Claws and Mustads.. I
used to do a lot of crappie fishing with live minnows and I'd use those two
brands of hooks. And I'd get hung on sunken trees etc, pull till the hook
straightened out, reshape it, fish again and again and again.. Other brands I
don't know about, Chuck

Question
Mike, I know this will worry some tyers and I am sure
some hooks will be too brittle like the old VMC hooks. I have had no
problems with the Eagle Claw hooks I use and most of the Mustads.. On
some of the old Mustads, most that broke was when I pinched down the
barb so I quit using them.Like I said, it works for me. I have not
tried
it with the real small hooks, sz 14 is the smallest I have done it
with.
Are you going to make the Sowbug this year. Hope
so.
Tony

One of the things that Tony said was what I
would say - pinch the barb down. Next get the right size bead
for the hook. Glass is not as flexible but I have found that
they are not consistent with the sizes. You can try several and
some will work and some won't. Tony's idea of bending the hook
is interesting but I would worry about that causing metal
fatigue. Someone smarter might be able to answer that.

OK all you tiny fly tying experts LOL..
I am stumped with a problem.. I took the advice of tying a bigger
fly, then working my way down in hook sizes till I get to where I
want. Problem is, I'm tying (or TRYING) my Pink Panfish Producer,
and I'm down to a size 20. Problem is, the gold bead for the
head. The ones I have are either too small to go around the sharp
bend in the hook, or they are too big, and they either fall right
off the eye end of the fly, or get stuck, with the eye buried
halfway inside the bead. I have tried the beads front wards,
backwards and sideways. Is there a secret to this??? Should I just
make the "gold=bead head" out of gold tying thread, or tiny
tinsel??
Or do you just not tie flies this small with a bead head on them??
Thanks for ANY help, Chuck
