| I can remember seeing magnifying glasses that attach to your fishing hat and fold up. Anyone know where I can get them? |

|
| I have sen them in most flyfishing catalogs . There normally used for tying on midges and other small flies. I use to be a avid trout fisherman untill i found the way of the mighty musky !

| Hi Kid, Check with LL Bean, they cater to old geezers like us. |

|
| Try Cabelas....I've seen them in their Tacklecraft catalog and their Flyfishing catalog. You could also check Orvis.

| Be careful you dont buy the all-plastic kind; that is, ones with plastic-to-plastic swivels/joints. You want metal connections on the moveable parts. Otherwise, the damn things keep falling down in front of your eyes when you don't need them. Beyond annoying...
What you really want (but don't know it yet) are sunglasses with built-in mag optics. Not the expensive and bogus ones with the magnifyers set below the rim of the glasses (set so low you cant look down to see thru them but have to lift the entire glasses framework upward to make eye contact); rather, the kind with the magnifiers glued on the lower half of the eyeglass lenses themselves. VERY HARD TO FIND! But I know where. Just email www.thesunglassguy.com and order #8599Bf (yes, they're polaroids) in whatever strength you want 1.5,2.00,2.5, etc.

| Fly fishing catalogs have them. Try Dan Bailey's online catalog, or Orvis, or even LLBean FlyFishing section on their site. They all should have them. |

|
| I have seen them at some book store's and where you buy fly tying components. |
