The Renzetti is my 'go to' vise AFTER the Thompson and the Regal. It just happened to be out at that particular time.

FlySlinger.
They have chenille that is small enough to do the back end of a 16 hook, but I dont like it, its too densely wound. Very hard to keep the bulk down as the thread doesn't cut into it, it just mats it down leaving an unsightly mess.
The thing I would recommend is not to use chenille on those small hooks, but use floss or dubbing. Here are a couple, a #16 and #18 sulphur with a fur dubbed egg sack.
Using synthetic dubbing would be a better choice, as it wouldn't wick up water and sink the back end of the fly.
My very first experience with a full blown mayfly hatch was during a Dorothea hatch on the Neversink years ago. That day will forever be burned into my mind CJ
