What it is
Hareline Kiley’s Body Wrap is a fly-tying body wrap made from high-quality materials with an iridescent, pearl-like finish. It’s light reflective and sparkly on the hook, and it holds up well because it’s durable and non-fraying in use.
What to tie with it
Use it as an overbody or full body wrap to build clean, segmented-looking fly bodies, especially on nymphs and streamers. It’s a natural fit for caddis-style nymph bodies and other buggy larva-to-pupa shapes, and it also scales up into tougher saltwater patterns when you want flash without the wrap shredding.
Flies and the fish they're for
This material is commonly tied in the role of “nymph skin” for caddis nymph patterns, the kind you fish for trout in rivers and tailwaters when they’re eating caddis larva and pupae. In that same lane, it covers a lot of grubby, subsurface bug imitations you drift under an indicator or tight-line for trout and other river fish that key on nymphs. Sized up on streamer and saltwater fly bodies, that reflective, durable wrap is the kind of thing you’ll fish for predatory species that respond to flash in moving water and the flats.
