    Default MY PARACHUTE - Fly of the week - August 9, 2010

    MY PARACHUTE

    In the seventies, when I started creating my first dressings, a particular type of assemblage impressed me favorably; the parachute.

    I did not know that its design dates back to the twenties, for me it was a novelty, an artificial fly out of the classical schemes.

    This is such a cunningly simple, brilliant idea! I have never really tied parachutes - 1. in Texas foam spiders/poppers are the topwater of choice and 2. tying in the parachute has always been a maddening procedure.

    using the foam strips has set my mind a whirling. I think I am going to attempt with strips of 2mm closed cell foam and see how I turn out. Bream on parachutes ought to be heckka fun.

    Very nice! I bet that would work pretty slick for some of the larger parchute patterns as well as Damsels.

    hands down, bar none easiest parachute I have ever tied. I will never tie another mayfly parachute any other way.

    Nice fly - Scott Sanchez has been using the same concept with his PFD emerger for a few years now.

    Regards,
    Scott
