Trout Line Silky Mop Chenille 6 mm is a modern chenille created for fly tiers who want a softer, more natural-looking mop material. Compared to the Ultra Wormy Chenille 4 mm, this version has longer fibres, a silkier touch and a subtle level of translucency that gives flies a more realistic, almost “alive” appearance.
The silky fibres move smoothly in the current and create a natural pulsing effect, making this material highly effective for mop flies, worm patterns, attractor nymphs and carp flies. The 6 mm length offers a fuller profile without becoming bulky, which helps maintain balance even on smaller hooks.
Because the fibres are semi-translucent, the underlying thread or dubbing can slightly influence the final tone, allowing tiers to play with shading and depth of colour.
Recommended uses:
Mop flies (classic or slim-style)
Worm patterns (trout, carp, barbel)
Attractor nymphs for stocked trout
Jig worms for Euro nymphing
Panfish and warmwater patterns
Micro-lures for reservoirs
Key features:
6 mm silky fibres for a fuller, softer profile
Slightly translucent texture for lifelike visual effect
Smooth movement in the water
Easy to tie and shape
Ideal for a wide range of worm and mop-style patterns
More silky and natural-looking than Ultra Wormy Chenille 4 mm
A versatile and modern chenille that brings realism and subtle movement to any worm-style fly.
