When tying elk hair caddis, such as the one Hans has pictured, how thin is the wire. When I tye mine the wire seems to bind down hackle fibers, and makes for a very messy looking fly. I don't think it is a technique problem becuase when I'll use the same size wire for big stimmies and not have this problem.

I noticed Ronmt said he would get his wire directly from Al Troth, How would you describe the size of this wire?

Thanks
