What's in your vise?

How many goose biots we can scrap here ...

I used to tie down 24 when I lived in NV.....mostly for Hot Creek.

Funny thing is, we were fishing sz 24 midges to sippers (Hot Creek) and getting denied. My buddy remembered something he had heard Lefty Kreh (I think) say.......something about trying a beetle/terrestrial when the fish ignore your hatch matching offering. A well placed foam beetle got those picky picky SOB's!

I mostly tie down to 18/20 now.
 
Man, I don't even tie anything smaller than 20...and most likely 18's. However, I was on the South Fork of the Boise once late fall and the smallest I had in my box was 18's, and my buddy was catching on 24's when a late afternoon baetis was going off...they ignored my 18's
A couple falls ago I was in a BWO hatch that started out with larger bugs and then quickly got smaller. Sure enough, the #18 I had on stopped working....
