hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
thread - UTC 140 tan
body - dubbing hare's ear
rib - Uni-stretch brown
wing - landscape fabric
post - Congo Hair white
hackle - grizzly
legs - pheasant tail (knotted)
A not entirely organic version of the Schroeder Parachute Hopper - Congo Hair instead of calf body/tail post (less bulk at tie-in) and landscape fabric instead of turkey quill wing (more durable). A low floater and really effective in smaller sizes (#12-16); another change-of-pace fly for fish that see a lot of foam creations.
Part 1
mash down barb and attach thread at 70% mark
take a clump of Congo Hair
put it underneath the hook and pull up
wrap around base to lock in
and up to create post
brush on a bit of Sally
prep hackle (upsize by 1) and tie in on post, shiny side out (fibers will "cup" up)
move thread towards bend, tie in ribbing, wrap back to point above hook bend
apply dubbing
