Way too much chenille - what can I tie?

[FlyTieDad 0]

Hello,

 

I found myself at a thrift shop over the weekend and got a great deal on a LOT of brown and tan chenille.

It's more of a flat style.

 

Thing is, I'm not sure what to do with all of it.

 

Any suggestions on what I could tie?

 

I'm selling some on eBay at a reasonable cost but I sure would like to use as much of it myself.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Wooly worms, buggers, Winged Wets (eg., Rio Grande King) anything brown or tan & sinking, that fish will eat. Search here with chenille as part of your query, or Google Images of "fly patterns with chenille" - this sounds like a good find>

if its similar in size to fabric/craft shop chenille its probably only good for the largest of flies

A lot of chinelle​ is round and fluffy but this will lay flat.

Seems pretty good for smaller flies as well.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!

Just so you can see what i mean by "A lot".

 

I really need to find a way to get rid of a bit of this.
