Tie in both chenilles - wrap the one you want against the hook and just pull the other one tight over the top of it and tie it down.
I don't understand that. I just can't see how the way you said it puts one color on top and another color on bottom. I thought that it was dyed that way or something!
Wow, thanks Fatman , I got it now.
Easy stuff and he's right on how to do that! Lots of things you can do and if guys would learn some of the fly tying stuff they would open the rest of the tying world into their tool box!
I have given links to lessons on all kinds of good tying of flies and they tie in materials just like we should!

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.......

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.
