I've got some of these tied on size 12 TMC 2457s and I picked up a pack of size 14s yesterday to tide me over until I get my hook order placed here soon. <BR/><BR/>The cord on the chenille is fairly small, about the same diameter as the medium ultra wire shown (28 guage), but of course it will compress. I'd be more concerned with the length of the fibers on smaller flies, but it shouldn't be an issue if you are going to trim them up a bit. Next time you go to the Cities, stop by Sportsmans Warehouse in Woodbury or Coon Rapids. Hopefully they should still have some glimmer chenille left. The Fargo branch is completely out, as I cleaned them out of their stock a few weeks ago.

I'm wondering about winding some on a 16-18 and trimming it a bit with scissors.<BR/><BR/>Really though, I do like peacock herl. I agree that it is fragile... However, at the rate I lose nymphs, I rarely even see a herl-break-emergency situation. I don't even use head cement on trout nymphs, as I assume they'll have a very short life. <BR/><BR/>Nice hook gap, BTW.Wendy Berrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610634703483921109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810189164200534456.post-56871542854647932842009-01-05T01:28:00.000-06:002009-01-05T01:28:00.000-06:00lookin good.
