    Cheap Shellback Material

    I made a trip to Jo-Ann Fabrics today to find macrome yarn for strike indicators. They don't have any, and neither does Michaels (where can I get some?).

    I did find some clear elastic by stretchrite however. It cost about $2.30 and is 3/8" by 5 yards. 10 yards if you cut it in half (I know. I'm a genius.) That should be more than enough to tie a few flies with.

    Where do you guys get your macrame yarn for indicators?
    As far as fishermen go, Captain Ahab was pretty tame.
