Roy Christie Reverse Parachute

[texfly]

Has anyone else read about Roy Christies reverse parachute fly? I felt like the last person to know once I started looking around and found so much information about it and watched his video. Very innovative technique to say the least. How he uses the mono loop to wind and then secure the hackle was so simple but genius. I havent tried tying one yet but look forward to giving it a shot.

Texfly,

I've been using that technique since I got some of Roy's flies in a swap. Very innovative and effective. Make sure you drop the tag end of the mono loop between the vise jaws. Makes pulling the loop tight so much easier and the direction is correct.

I must have missed that detail in his video. Can you explain a little further Ron? Thanks

You might try doing a little research at this site: http://ukflydressing.proboards.com/index.cgi?
That should keep you happily enthralled for a few hours, if you haven't been there before.
