    Default The Gyrofly

    The Gyrofly was the first parachute fly to appear in this country, and was patented by William Avery Brush, from Detroit, in 1934. I'll do a Just Old Flies article on them soon.

    I believe he patented a hook with a piece extending upward from the shank to wrap the parachute hackle on.
