Does anyone know where I can find Lime green thread in size A or a similar size? I can't seem to find anyone who carries that color. I can be reached @ 214-549-0365 or email me @ donniejuan74@yhaoo.com

Smaller than A, you can also look into Silk threads. Anglers Workshop might have some Flourescent Yellow & Gteen in size A nylon as well.

"lime green" thread in size A or smaller is a commonly sought-after color of thread in the bamboo fly rod world from what i've read. for one, granger used it and it's often asked for for repro or restoration work though usually in silk. good luck. sometimes it's called granger green, or parakeet. do a google search using Green Silk Thread Fly as keywords. though you didn't state silk, you might find links to the nylon version.

Don,

FishHawk offers silk in A and 3/0, and #245 green should be a nice option for your needs. Billy V`s suggestion of Angler`s Workshop as a potential source is a great option since they carry the entire FishHawk line of threads.
