99% of my midges and tricos are size 22. Got a few 24's in the box just in case. At one time tied down to 30 as a stunt, then I got tired of fishing tiny stuff. A few years ago I got back into fishing tricos and midges and swore I wouldn't go below 22, but a few 24's have crept into my box because there are those days when you can't go too tiny. BTW, a size 14 Walt's Worm has been good for me lately, but I feel like I am tying saltwater flies compared to my usual offerings this time of year.
I am a big believer in what the British call an anorexic nymph - a nymph tied smaller than the hook size. Works most of the time when I need to go tiny.
