Chamois leather (/ˈʃæmi/ or /ʃæmˈwɑː/), sometimes known as a shammy or also as wash-leather, is a type of porous leather that is favored for its gentle, non-abrasive composition and absorption properties. It has a range of uses:
Step 1 secure the hook. #14 200r
Step 2 thread the hook.
Step 3 tie in the narrow curt piece of chamois cloth.
Step 4 either wrap in mid hook or tie straight depending on the profile desired.
Note: To increase the segmented look use a darker brown thread.
This is a simple one or two material fly. Catch loads of fish.
Hook: #14 200R
Thread: Olive 8/0
Body: Chamois Leather
Dedicated to my son. I love you.
