Danville Flat Mylar Tinsel – Gold & Silver Double-Sided Fly Tying

Elevate your fly tying with Danville Flat Mylar Tinsel

Danville’s Flat Mylar Tinsel delivers two classic colors in a single, versatile strip: gold on one side and silver on the other. The flat profile lies flush against the hook, delivering clean, even wraps that can help your patterns shimmer under varying light.

Designed with a touch of stretch, this tinsel allows you to pull material tight without crowding the thread. That controlled give helps you lock fibers securely while maintaining a crisp, streamlined profile that resists snagging on water or snag-prone vegetation. The result is a fly that catches the eye with brightness and contrast, thanks to the durable Mylar flash that catches sunlight as you strip, strip cast, or drift through a current. It’s a true staple for many tiers, offering a reliable way to add ornament and visibility to your patterns.
