    When they get that small, I prefer a scud hook, and a CDC palmer, rather than regular hackle (actually, I prefer the CDC palmer hackle most of the time)

    Thanks for the comments, I palmer all my ehk with cdc's now. I don't really tie that small anymore. I think having a decent hook gape and not overhackling flies is extremely important to ensure good hooksets.
