rougetrout 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Iuse mostly orvis and danville chenille. Orvis has quite a few colors of varigated chenille which are two or more colores mixed, when wrapped on a hook it adds a nice pattern to the body of the fly which can imitate scale patterns for woolly buggers or muddlers and gives woolly worms an interesting looks. they usually stock 3 sizes at the fly shop I go too. I have also started to use really small size erstaz to as a substitute for chenille. It has a bunch more flash and action. give it a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stel 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 I didn't know there were different kinds. However, when tying some ESl tonight I noticed a bit of a difference in some of the orange and black. Guess I will have to pay attention more. Is it my turn to go salmon fishing yet:( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted August 21, 2004 Except for ultra or micro chenille I've gone away from it. Try using ostrich plumes. Tie in about 4 strands and spin it together then wrap. It has the same qualities as chenille with more movement on your bug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
