Click on Fly Tying, then you will see Beginning Tying which starts off with tools and such, but soon gets into patterns. After that there is Intermediate Tying and finally Advanced Tying and the Advanced is where I learned to tie the weave bodies. So much on this site and their tips page is also very good. I give out tips from them all the time and where I first learned to paint eyes with the back of a drill bit, lol! Click on this link.......

I have a long way to go but I done these today! My first day using feathers and I don't like how small my chenille is. But they manage to make em bite on Toledo! I can't seem to find what size chenille Joey Anderson use on his you tube videos.
Most guys use #2 on 1/16 Oz jigs and some places call that medium. Also if you get some chenille with Crystal in it (New Age) then I like #3 because once you add Crystal in chenille it's not as dense as it is without the Crystal. I use to get the #2 in that also, but it didn't take me long to change to the #3 for that stuff and really I also use a lot of #3 in just Rayon or Nylon, but it can be a tiny bit large for anything less than 1/16.
I think most places do not have the #3 though as they have #3 and then something larger than the #2 so maybe like a #5 is their next size.
