Thread: Deerhair parachute SBS

Hybrid View

    Default Deerhair parachute SBS

    After some questions about how to make a deerhair parachte fly in an earlier posting of me, I've made an small Step by step.
    Hopefully is it clear enough how it is tied after reading and watching the following photo's.
    (I'll hope that my English is understandable enough for this Step by step)

    Tie in thread and make a small ball of your tying thread in order to make it easy to spread the tied in fibres.

    Make with dubbing a body.

    Stack a bunch of deerhair and measure it to approx. half a shank length.

    Tie in the deerhair

    Make a tuft of the deerhair that stands right up, and tie in some peacock hearls

    Make a thorax with the peacock hearls, and whipfinish your fly.

    Make the tuft flat with your index finger

    Inject with your dubbingneedle a small drop of bug bond/bug off or other UV hardend liquid

    Harden the UV reactive liquid

    And Ready!


    Success with tying!

    Interesting. Never seen that technique before. Thanks for the SBS, Inderk.
    Work is something for people that don't fish.

    Very nice. I'm plotting how to get to my bench now that my hip surgery is in the rear view mirror, only 11 days out, but I feel better every day. Now, what size is this little devil?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    This one is tied at a standard dry fly hook size 12.
    Normally i'll these from hook size #10 - #14 Size #16 and smaller is possible, but you have then to take care what kind of deerhair you'll use.
    (Short deerhair)
