You guys have probably figured out by now that I love gadgets. I live in spring creek country and often have to fish tiny flies. If they are tied with delicate materials, they can be difficult to grab and extract from a fish without damage. I just came up with this. The jaws are made by grinding the end off the eye of a large needle, in this case .050 diameter. The handle, obviously, is an old toothbrush. The end tooth of the alligator clip is ground and filed down, and the clip acts as a guard over the needle so I can carry the thing in a vest pocket without getting stuck. I have only used it once, but it seems to be OK. You do have to control the fish with your other hand, or net. Any other solutions?
