Hareline Fly Tying Solid Tinsel Chenille-Copper – Flashy Chenille for Attractor Flies

Overview

Hareline's Solid Tinsel Chenille in Copper blends krystal tinsel with rayon fibers to deliver a lively, eye-catching shimmer. The rich copper hue catches light in moving water, helping attractor patterns stand out on the water without overpowering natural tones.

What makes this chenille stand out

• Tinsel-infused chenille designed to add flash and body
• Durable material suitable for repeated use on streams and rivers
• Ideal for attractor flies, buggers, stones, and steelhead patterns
• Heritage note: Hareline Dubbin began in 1981 in Monroe, Oregon, expanding from a kitchen stove to a large fly-tying supplier

In practice, you can wrap this chenille around the shank to create a shimmering abdomen or use it as a flashy rib to enhance segmentation. The rayon fibers contribute a soft, reflective texture that moves with the current, giving your fly a subtle life-like glow in sun and shade.

Tying and usage tips

• Pair with a natural underbody to maximize contrast and motion
• Use as a body wrap or rib to add dimension and sparkle
• Apply moderately on smaller patterns to avoid overpowering the fly
• Store in a cool, dry place to preserve color and pliability
