I used to buy a yarn for fly tying that was mohair. It has a central woven core, with clumps and strands of varegated color coming of it, in varied lengths and thicknesses. When I used it for nymphs, it out performed even the fur-bodied nymphs like muskrats and hares ears. I will check around and see if it is still available. It doesn't have the neat appearance of yarn or chenille, but I think it is the ratty, furry look that is so appealing to the fish. There was a turquoise/maroon color that was deadly for cuts on the south fork. If I can find it, I'll post it here.
