Problem !! cannot get leader thru eye of midge --my eyes are elderly
and I cannot hold a magnifying glass and tie knots at same time !
Using 7x leader--any suggestions welcome


I use the flip up that attach to my glasses

Problem is after I am done w them - as I walk or move to fish these clip ons
keep falling down
I found a great pair of magnifiers - clic

I am at the point where I would not even attempt a #22 hook eye and 6 X is
getting more difficult for me
The best solution is to take a younger friend or train my grandchildren to
help tie on flies and leaders
