I picked this up from Bruce Hopper.

Bruce gave me a small fly box with many tiny nymphs in it. It
inspired me to think "small" when tying. His single (sometimes
double) strand of flashabou has worked wonders on many of my ties. I
love his simplicity of design: thread body, wire rib, flashabou,
thread head on a #20 and smaller hook.
