Very nice tie and pattern, Scott. Is this from Chris Williams of ID or another? Had not see this particular variant before, but I know I've seen the foam-as-a-post somewhere else, just cannot remember where. Thanks for the tutorial.

*great* pattern and pix! Will try that one for sure! Thanks Scott

Thanks all. John, that is the Chris Williams from Boise; he ties some very nice flies.

Regards,
Scott

I've been meaning to try and find a hi-vis material to use for parachute posts. Why didn't I think of using egg yarn? I've got orange and chartreuse. Thank you, Scott!
