Part 2

trim butt of hackle extra-long and tie in at base of post (unlike traditional parachute where I the the hackle up the post, this way is a bit more stable); the first few wraps of hackle are bare stem up to the top of the post, then back down (cup side up) to the base (I also tried it as a Hacklestacker wrapping the hackle up and down the post, but it was a bit too "fuzzy " for me); it also helps to wrap the hackle in the opposite direction of the that used to create the post to keep the tips aligned properly






tie off hackle at base of post; trim




dub rest of thorax




trim loop at base of wing, half hitch x 2, SHHAN
