I have a chain-link fence behind my house and I want to cover it up with ivy. However, it's been difficult looking for a species of ivy that clings onto the chain-link fence. Anyone know of a species that can do just that?

Most any type will work. You may have to give them a little help by intertwining the vines at first. For flowers you may want to consider Morning Glories. Little help is needed there.

Yeah, they don't cling like a Clematis will, but Ivy will grow on a fence, but it must be on the NORTH side of your house.
Ivy needs a northern exposure.

The ivyleaf morning glory (Ipomoea hederacea Jacq.) It has beautiful purple flowers. But you have to control it very carefully (like most vines) because it will spread.

English ivy;
Boston ivy;
Honeysuckles.
Sometimes you have to give them a little help in twining.
