Plastic Band Size Chart

If anyone is banding any species that are not listed here, please e-mail the NFSS Bands Director at bands@nfss.org with the name of the species and the size of the band being used, so we can add it to the chart below.

You can use these bands at fledge, we recommend only one band per leg. Avoid placing 2 bands on the same leg.
