Thanks Wes, Are ou sure you have a mailbox LOL

Do you know how thin you can stretch that Stretch Magic before it breaks? Small enough for #14? #18? #24???

stretch magic comes in a .5mm which is pretty thin to begin with and can be stretched pretty thin when tying. i'm sure it could tie down to size 24

I don't know, I can tie one up, but I think it will be too bulky on #24. #20 would be my max I think, but I will give it a shot.

Okay, Normand, you are the man, I went and tied a 24 with the .5mm and it is beautiful. I then tied a #26, but I think that is max. The smaller hooks are subject to bend when pulling the stretch tubing. However, up to #26 required very little stretching.
I can post pictures if any one wants to see. Simple pupas is all I tied. In gray...but could be a nice maggot imitation.

I'm in a continuing monthly swap, and my flies for December disappeared in the mail, so I just got through tying a replacement set of 1 dozen Bunny Leeches to mail tomorrow.

.

For next month's swap, I have agreed to tie 1 dozen Gotchas. I will start on these soon.

For my personal use, crappie season will be upon us in a few weeks, so I plan to stock up on Crappie Candies, small Olive and White Clousers, streamers, and some micro Beadhead Wooley Buggers in white and chartreuse.

I've tied a few of those 'Alzheimer Nymphs' myself.

I just can't remember if I caught any fish with them.
