Those are so awesome, what size are they Ziggy do you know? Have some dry flies and nymphs that are a similar size, need to get out on to a small clear stream somewhere and catch some wild rainbows with them!

from the article it looks like they range from 26-32. Get the mag - it has some good pointers on how to fish tiny flies

after my trip to Ireland - I have been converted to tiny flies. See my attempts at tying tiny flies - bear in mind that I have just started tying - so these are in no way as professional as the ones from the mag
