Hi,
Wondering if any of you folks have a favorite fly tied in the old paraloop style? I just got a gallows attachment for my JVICE and am enjoying tying these patterns again.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks

Nice looking paraloop patterns. I may have to tie up a few for next spring, or even for the year round river nearby.

Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.
never tied one yet.
i gave away a gallows before i used it years ago.

I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

Good ties.
But y'know, I've never gotten the point of paraloops. What need does it solve that isn't met by a Catskill, parachute, modern thorax or comparadun? Or even just a hackle-collared fly with no wing?
Very nice looking ties Byron. Well done
The tail seems on the heavy side to me, or are you imitating a shuck?
Yes, a trailing shuck
Because the paraloop offers better floatation due to the hundreds of intact hackle fibers; these help displace the water better than a trimmed hackle or a sparse parachute hackle.Originally Posted by Steven
Plus, I think they look cool and accentuate the thorax?
They look cool, are fun to tie, and fish eat 'em. What more can you ask of any fly?
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
