Nicely done. Your off to a great start. There are to schools of thought on the chenille. The first I will call the Skip School that that chenille goes to the head and no thread is showing. The second is one I will call Matching the hatch which the thread is showing. If the second school of thought is used the thread must be RED to match the gill flash. Which one do I do Both. Both have there place just personal preference as to which you want to use. Good rule of thumb Use match the hatch method on minnow and bait fish patterns on all others use the Skip School.
