Long chenille

Post by Ian »

I’ve been using this stuff for a few years now. It’s the material I use for the roach bunnies ( page 5 here ) and the sparkle nymphs I’ve been tying of late.
In case anyone is interested, google “Hends products long chenille”.

I use the grizzle white and black for my pike flies and sparkle nymphs, but I also seen a grey black on another site.
I’ve tried tying the sparkle nymphs with hare fur, but it doesn’t have anywhere near the same effect.
It is sold in lengths of around 900mm, so good for the money :Hat:
Don’t cast doubt,cast out.

Looks like great material for large flies. I will have to see if anything like that is sold in my neck of the woods. I'm sure it is.
Worry less about who you might offend, and care more about who you might inspire.
