You take an an anti static bag, cut it into strips, then wrap a strip around a hook (along with some other materials), and call it a chronie.

Anyone have a few pictures of examples and the raw materials used, particularly the bag used...I'm still mystified.

I'd get in, but kinda short time frame (I'm doing a few other swaps).

JohnK's Patriot is an example of this type of fly. A sample recipe would be

Mustad C49
Gils - White Antron
Bead - Black BH
Underbody - Brown Holographic Flashabou
Overbody - Antistatic Bag
Rib - Copper Rib
Coating - Loctite

Basically a chronie with an extra body layer.

The bag is the same bag that aftermarket Hard Drives for your computer come in. If you don't have one kicking around, go down to your local computer shop and ask for a spare. Preferably a translucent one.

SPF, talk to Ron at the Kamloops shop and perhaps he has a bunch of strips already cut or you could PM your address to me and I could mail some out.
