I am looking high and low for LARGE Flo green chart chenille. I can find any other color every made but that one. The only place it shows up is in the Antron catagory. I'd like to keep things consistent, especially if I intend to sell one day. If you know of a place, and I have alreayd scoured places like Barlows, Janns, Cabelas, etc. please let me know.

It might be worth a call to Little River Outfitters here in East Tenn. The folks who own that shop are GREAT and they are wonderful to work with. I betcha they can help. It's a toll free call.

Chenille is not my thing but if you Goggle "antron LARGE green chenille" you get lots of places to look. If nothing fits, I'd try 2-3 other meta search engines.

Sometimes chenille plays a part in how a fly gets its name. About ten years ago, Mike Kuczynski, owner of the Eureka Fly Shop in Northern California was tying Brindle Bugs for Klamath River steelhead. He had used his last skein and opened a new shipment box and every skein was lime colored instead of the brindle color he needed. (I think a skein is a figure 8 wrap of chenille about 200 yards long) Frustrated with a LOT (20-30 skeins) of off color, unusable stock, for grins and giggles he tied up a dozen or so Brindle Bugs using the hideous lime color. Several buddies stopped by the shop and he told his tale of grief while he awaited a rush order of brindle chennille. He sold out of Brindle Bugs and tied more of the ole lime things and started giving them away to customers who demanded classical Brindle Bugs. Two days went by and his buddies came back and asked for more lime stuff - steelhead loved them. The pattern caught on and has joined the Assassin, Silver Hilton, Mossback, and Brindle Bug as one of the Fall Steelhead favorites. It's name? The Limey.

Good luck!

Okay,

I've seen you post this on several boards. Take a digital photo of the color you're looking for and email Danville and Waspi and see if they have that color and get the catalouge number for it. Then ask them for a distributor closest to you and have that shop order it.

Most companies chartreuse and green chartreuse are very very close in color so sending a photo will help. I'd like to see a photo of it too!!!

Hey Fatman thanks!! I have only posted on one other board so now I'm curious. But I went to Danville and wasn't able to get those color charts or the info you found. Fat or otherwise you ARE the man!
