Fly tying chenille
Different shapes and properties for innovative and creative flies
The brand new textreme GUMMY CHENILLE is made of a rubbery, glossy and fluorescent material. Thanks to a special treatment it doesn't lose its colour even after many fishing sessions and the small rubber fibres are very soft but at the same time strong and you don't run the risk of them coming off during the tying phase or during the fight with the fish. They can be used to make streamers and nymphs. In case you decide to tie squirmy worms it is advisable to apply a drop of UV glue at the end, to make the GUMMY CHENILLE even more resistant to fish attacks.
EGGSTASY MIX BLOB CHENILLE, as its name suggests, is a combination of eggstasy chenille and blob chenille. This fly tying material is made up of very fine artificial hairs that take on an almost gelatinous consistency in water, and slightly wider synthetic strips that give this product a translucent, almost pearly appearance. The effect in water is very interesting because the fish will really feel as if they are looking at something alive. It is very easy to tie, simply attach it to the hook with the tying thread, make a few coils of chenille (as required) and re-tie with the tying thread. You can use it to tie bloob, boobie, F.A.B., eggs, streamers and nymphs.
EGGSTASY THRILL CHENILLE by hotfly is made mostly of a downy material with a number of white synthetic inserts that give your artificial flies a unique appearance. This fly tying material takes on an almost gelatinous appearance when immersed in water, making the fish think they are looking at something alive. EGGSTASY THRILL CHENILLE is tied on the hook in a few simple steps and will allow you to make very attractive nymphs 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.
