Thankyou for the help. I'm going to tie up a bunch and use them this Saturday at Taney. I'll let you know how I did.

Jon,

I am anxious to see how they work for you. Are you going to tie them in 20's or smaller or up the size a bit?

If you ever want to learn how to fish and tie on a budget with items you normally don't see in a fly shop, get Sister Carol Ann Corley to do a presentation at your club meetings. You will be amazed how much fly tying stuff is out there that you never really thought about. And she's a WONDERFUL lady to be around.

I was going to start with some 20 and 22 and use them as a dropper.

Greg,

Here are a few items I have picked up throughout the years:

Foam sheets (you can buy a multiple color pack of 20 sheet for less than $5)

Lead wire

Crystal bead (200 for less than $2.00, I have used them in hook sizes 12 to 24)

Metal bead

feathers

threads

scissors

glue sticks

yarn

That is all I can think of at this time. But each item I purchased is going to last me for years at a lower cost.

later,

FFM

Thanks. That's great. It'll give me something productive to do the next time I'm there. I'm going to pick some of the thread for the yong fly too. I'll bet it would be a great dropper off a heavier fly.

Yong special - Andy Yong Kim - very tiny flies is this mans specialty.

Some are best tied by him - the mojo is in there!
