Fly Fish Food Small Stonefly Chenille 

« Back to Glossary Index

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fly Fish Food’s Stonefly Chenille is specifically designed for tying Stoneflies, featuring a variegated texture and sizing that fits most stonefly patterns. This high-quality material is easy to work with and is available in various traditional stonefly colors, along with some attractor shades.

This chenille is primarily used to create bodies on nymphs. To use it, simply cut a piece, tie it onto the hook, and wrap it around the body. After wrapping, you can leave it as is or trim it with scissors to create a tapered effect.

When comparing Fly Fish Food Stonefly Chenille to Hareline Ultra Chenille, the key difference lies in their intended use. While Fly Fish Food’s version is designed for specific patterns, the Ultra Chenille is more versatile. Additionally, Fly Fish Food Stonefly Chenille features barring, which enhances its visual appeal.

This chenille works particularly well for tying patterns like Pat’s Rubber Leg Stonefly and Euro-style jig stoneflies. It can also add a unique look to Woolly Buggers.

Packaged in a single small size, it comes in 5-yard lengths. This is the same chenille used in Lance Egan’s favorite Euro nymph stonefly pattern, ideal for smaller golden or sally stonefly patterns and featured in the Modern Nymphing DVD.
