Size matters. Just not in the way most fly anglers think.

We have an informal family motto which is: " si unus es habiturus, magnus es" which translates to: "if you're going to have one, get a big un" We're not that grand really, but the saying is often quoted when buying chocolate, beer and cars. The above motto was brought to mind just recently when chatting with the guys who tie for us, we were discussing flies to catch those hungry early-season fish - something with a little movement in it was the obvious choice, but I wanted to do something a little bit different, so we decided to take an early-season staple pattern and microize it.
