Tony and others:
You might want to try one of these fly threaders. It holds the eye of the fly
in line with the groove magnetically. After placing the fly, one simply pushes
the tippet along the groove (from right hand side), through the eye of the hook
and as you can see the end of the tippet comes out on the left. They green
thread in the photo is simply a lanyard that the person is wearing around their
neck so that the threader is always available. They retail online for about
$10.00. The eye of the fly must be clear of any threads or hackles.

The reason I had 7X on was because I was fishing sz 26 midges for
Trout on Tuesday. There was still a small Caddis hatch on and I was also using
sz 16 and 18 tent wing Caddis. 6X would not work, trout were too finiky. I did
not think about taking my vest with the tippit spools, I just grabbed the rod
and a small box of flies. If I get to back to fish that pond again, I will have
4X on.
Yes, I do have a problem tying on the small flies and the fine tippet.

My wide has a double appointment at the doctors office this
morning and normally she will be there for a couple of hours. I have permission
to fish the pond alongside the parking lot.I have never got to fish it because
of time of the year or having my appointment. It was overcast and real windy
but I gave it a shot. Tied on a Peacock and Bronze. Had nothing for a while
then I got a good fish on. I never did see it before breaking off. I had some
7X tipprt on my leader and had no other with me. Then I tied in a Peacock body
nymph with a gold bead head. That did yeild a couple of Largmouth Bass. The
takes were real slow, just felt the line tighten up and the fish was there.
Had another take and when the bass came out of the water,
he broke off. Tied in a Peackock body bugger. When I turned out of the wind, I
noticed my wife back at the van waving me to come back. I could not belerve she
was already finished. Heading back to the van I made another cast and hooked up
with a Largmouth. That made five Bass, two break offs and one miss. Not bad for
about an hour fishing.
