Hareline Fly Fish Food Small Stonefly Chenille

Hareline Fly Fish Food Small Stonefly Chenille is chenille for building compact bodies on stonefly nymphs and other substantial nymph patterns. Its form makes it easy to create an even, controlled thorax or abdomen without handling separate loose fibres. The Small Stonefly Chenille name places it in patterns requiring a smaller body profile, without stating a specific measurement.

Construction and use

Expose a short section of the core by clearing the fibres, then tie the core in firmly with thread. Wrap the chenille in adjacent turns from the rear of the body toward the thorax; closer turns build more coverage, while wider spacing creates a slimmer profile. Secure the material, trim the waste and finish the head. It also suits simple lake flies and compact streamers where a continuous body material is useful.

• Form: core chenille intended for wrapping.
• Profile: compact body with controllable volume.
• Technique: expose the core and wrap in adjacent turns.
