    Default Sanchez PFD Parachute Dun SBS



    More from the fertile waters around Jackson Hole,this one by Scott Sanchez. Tied here as a Hecuba (western fall drake) using the same dubbing as the Stranahan Brindle Chute; change color/size to suit your needs

    hook - Dai Riki 320 #12
    thread - MFC 8/0 rusty brown
    tail - elk flank
    body - 50% hare's ear/antron, 25% olive rabbit/antron, 25% rust orange rabbit/antron (add a little gold rabbit after the other stuff's all blended)
    underwing (floatation device) - 2mm foam tan
    wing - Congo Hair white
    hackle - grizzly dyed tan

    Part 1

    mash barb, start thread, wrap to point above barb




    clean, stack, measure (shank length) a small clump of elk; tie in, wrap to 3/4 mark, trim butts






    dub thread/dub body to eye, finish at 3/4 mark






    tie in foam strip




    tie in a hank of CH; initiate transverse orientation, separate with cross wraps






    tie in hackle (normally, I oversize by 1 on parachutes but, with the thick base, standard size hackle will create the length I want), shiny side out, at base of PFD
