On the pond I can tie the tippet in using a surgeons knot and not have to try to see the eye of the tiny fly. I tie a gnat on a #22 and that is the ONLY way I can fish them.
Like Disco said "interesting"! I hope I can remember to try some #22 on finicky crackers this spring and summer. I think sometimes my memory is getting worse than my eyesight. Thanks for sharing the info!
