Robert M 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2018 Anyone have any suggestions for a substitute for Paton's Bohemian chenille used to tie Rich's Ultimate worm and the Shannon's streamer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishinguy 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 Kimo has some real nice flies in the January flies from the vise thread that look a lot like that. He said he used a furled dubbing loop I think. Here's a link to one similar. https://youtu.be/TWEq8KuYUd4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 As stated by Rich himself ... he'll be back. Until then, Robert, below is his e-mailed reply (sic) "i will have my puter back tuesday night maybe then i can get backon. robert m asked about patons chenille. patons is still available on ebay in certain colors. most chenille will work for the shannon streamer since its wrapped against itself. problem is they dont work for the tail . patons has 4 core threads , other just two and the fibers will pull out. this past year i have started to use wendy eider chunky yarn for the shannons. makes them much easier to cast. rich mc" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert M 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2018 I need to be able to wrap the pattern like Rich MC's worm pattern for the weedless ability. Mono loops and mono V's foul. I've only had limited success with topwater on the pond. This fly works on occasion but is a bitch to cast. This is the size of many of the bass in the pond, we have caught at least one 8 lber on each trip with average fish size 2 to 3 lbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a link to one similar. https://youtu.be/TWEq8KuYUd4 Thanks for the endorsement fishinguy! Take a look at this video. I use Chocklett's Finesse Hackle. It turns out more like a stick bait which is what I was after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7yluqiNWEs&t=56s I have tried the dubbing technique but I got a stiffer worm using Chocklett's Hackle ( chenille) Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
