i'm sure many of you have done this already.
i often have a disdain for junk flies,but also get excited about them.
last night, thinking of steel,i took a piece of cerise chenille that was kind of fluffy,and tyed it to the hook with an overhand knot.no tying thread involved ,just the chenille.
then i took the tag ends and formed a loop with one and wrapped the other around it three times like the beginning of a basic clinch knot.
believe it or not,the chenille becomes more spherical than you get by simply wrapping it on a hook and securing it with thread.i would imagine you could alter the size by wrapping more times or using different widths of chenille.
i don't know how moral this fly is,but you could tye about ten in a minute.
if anyone has heard of this procedure before,let me know!!!
otherwise i'll change my name to clouser gartside troth whitlock mc tysie doodle.
