REE, I am in the monthly swap and the theme this month is "one smaller". I generally have no reason to tie soft hackles, so I am using this opportunity to practice on my soft hackles down to size 20. I learned an easy method for tying these a while back and I hadn't had a reason to practice it yet. I may go smaller than a 20 for the swap, depending on what hooks I can get ahold of in time to tie the flies for the swap.
