FLOATING MICROCHENILLE from hotfly is a floating chenille, and due to its properties, it is particularly suitable for tying bodies and thoraxes of dry flies and other patterns such as terrestrials, which need corresponding buoyancy in the water. With its 0.8mm you can use this chenille for tying filigree fly patterns also. Furthermore, this chenille is also suitable for the construction of extended bodies. The buoyancy of the FLOATING MICROCHENILLE can also be an advantage for imitations of worms or other stimulating flies, where the appendages and extremities should play as lively as possible in the water. Especially in still waters, the buoyancy of this chenille can breathe life into the various fly patterns. In combination with head beads, jig hooks or other weights you can tie very interesting and creative fly patterns that move very attractively, look extremely lively and are therefore extremely seductive even to sluggish fish. The FLOATING MICROCHENILLE is available in a wide range of great colours, from eye-catching stimulant colours to more subdued and natural shades. You'll find a 200cm strand in each pack.

MOP FLY CHENILLE from hotfly is a chenille with a circular cross-section and a diameter of 4 mm, whose fibres form a dense, compact strand.

Compared to the short, pre-cut mop pieces, the MOP FLY CHENILLE has the advantage that you can always cut exactly the length of chenille you need for your artificial flies and are not bound to the given length of the mop pieces. In addition, the fibres of this chenille are firmly welded to the chenille yarn, so that you can cut any length you want without the chenille losing its fibres or disintegrating. You can find MOP FLY CHENILLE in bright signal colours with a fluorescent effect. Each pack contains 200 cm of chenille.

FLUO GLOW CHENILLE by hotfly consists of a phosphorescent (“glow in the dark”) material that can be charged with sunlight or any artificial light source (torch, UV light, flashlight). Due to this special characteristic, artificial flies tied with FLUO GLOW CHENILLE are much more exposed in low light and poor visibility conditions than fly patterns tied with standard materials. Therefore, this chenille is mainly used for artificial flies that are guided very deep or offered in dark , murky water. Self-luminous fly patterns are of course also very suitable during twilight and night hours. In such situations, a highly visible fly can make all the difference and tempt the fish to bite after all. This chenille is flat in cross-section and has 15 mm long fibres, which are particularly suitable for streamers and other stimulating flies. But also many patterns for fly fishing in ponds and lakes such as chenille nymphs, blobs, boobies, FABs and egg imitations can be tied very easily with the FLUO GLOW CHENILLE.

JELLY EGG CHENILLE by hotfly consists of a very fine, compact, cotton wool-like base material from which longer, reflective fibres protrude. When this chenille gets wet, the fine base material soaks up water, giving it a very interesting gelatine-like texture. For this reason, this chenille is primarily suitable for egg flies. Due to the special properties of this chenille, they do not only look very real in the water, but also give the fish the impression of something chewy when they bite and do not make them suspicious. However, JELLY EGG CHENILLE can also be used very well for other fly patterns that are supposed to have a corresponding consistency, such as modern fishing pond patterns that imitate paste or pellets. But you can also give streamers and other stimulating flies a lively "bite" with this material.

CACTUS NEON CHENILLE is a chenille with 15mm long fibres that react to the UV rays of the sun, making the colours of this material very intense and vivid. There are also synthetic fibres that reflect sunlight very well, generating flashes and glows that stimulate the natural curiosity of the fish. The translucent appearance of CACTUS NEON CHENILLE makes fish think they are looking at something alive, even if the artificial fly you are fishing with is a fantasy imitation. Using this fly tying material is very simple and in a few moments you can tie nymphs, blobs, boobies, F.A.B., eggs and streamers.

Like almost all fly tying materials, chenille has evolved over the years and many different materials can be found today. The classic chenille is already very versatile because it lends itself very well to many different types of dressing but with the arrival of the latest fly tying materials, the possibilities of use are really endless.

The most classic uses that can be made with this kind of fly tying material are extended bodies for dry flies (see video), nymph bodies such as Montana Stone or San Juan Worm, or you can tie many different types of streamers such as the famous Wooly Bugger.

When using classic chenille or SQUIRMY CHENILLE to make extended body or San Juan Worm, it is best to burn the end slightly to increase resistance, while for GUMMY CHENILLE, being a plastic material, it is preferable to use a drop of UV glue for this purpose.

Modern chenille is characterised by very bright fluorescent colours and some of them react to the UV rays of the sun, making your artificial flies really attractive. The movement is also no less, making it particularly suitable for fishing in lakes where the fish have plenty of time to examine your imitation and to generate the attack of the fish you need to stimulate its predatory instinct.

The brand new EGGSTASY is used to make imitations of eggs, big nymphs and streamers.

Below we leave you with a couple of our fly tying tutorials in which we have used these materials, hoping they will be a cue for your next dressing.
