Oh, and sorry -- didn't answer your question. Elk Springs resort used to have an online fly shop which sold flies, including 32s of various patterns. It looks like Dave is guiding independently now, and I do not see the website any longer.
-- Tiemco (518) and other companies are also seldom producing 32s in my experience over the past few years -- nearly anywhere that lists them is "out of stock".
Really, the smallest fly I use at all is a #22-24 Al's rat (pupa) in the film, and it really is fun when fish keep hitting it when other things don't work at all. They're so incredibly easy to tie, it wouldn't make sense to buy them unless you just don't tie at all.
If you want, I can bring you 2 dozen at next beer tie in exchange for an order of fish and chips.

Anytime someone mentions #32s I think of Dave Breitmeier out on the Elk too.It is fun to hook a decent trout on teeny flies and light tippet when nothing else works (like midging in the dead of summer), but in reality I've rounded a street corner and slipped on a rat more in the past 4 years than I've been in a fishing situation requiring 32s.Gene

Sent from my iPhone--I'm looking for some really small (size 28-32) nymphs (probably pheasant tails and midges) and dries (tricos and other mayflies). Any suggestions would be much appreciated.And no, I'm not even going to attempt to tie some myself; not with these eyes.
