Sparkle Chenille Body (SwittersB)

Chenille bodies are not seen as much anymore for steelhead/salmon patterns. Bodies are slimmer. But, there are some nice chenille’s out there that have more benefit than just for Woolly Buggers. Here, I was playing around to see what the color combos would look like. Most appealing is the chenille’s highlights and that brilliant blue in the wound guinea hackle.
