Hi All,

Now is the time to buy super cheap flashback and silver flashabou type material.

Christmas tree icicles are now on sale at dollar stores and Walmart.

At Walmart they siver icicle boxes for 50 cents. There were about 4 cases in our Walmart, maybe 100 boxes a case. I have used it for streamer tailings and winging. It has more movement than any of the on purpose silver materials made for this purpose. It is flimsier and so the streamers don't last quite as long as regular fly tying materials, but boy the movement is great.

At dollar stores they had colored icicle material that is great for flashback nymphs. I have gotten (or seen but didn't buy) metallic green, metallic bluish green, metallic chartreuse green, metallic red, gold, silver, and clear. The stuff is in bulk plastic bags for 50 cents a package now, and if you are like me, one bag is more than a lifetime supply.

However, in a few days the stuff will be gone.

Regards,

Gandolf
