the fish dont want it no mo!!

Look at the fly in this pic:


The hackle completely came loose on this parachute. It was the 1st para dry fly I ever tied (and a very poorly tied one, I must say). I could not believe it but I caught several other tiny rainbows on this fly even after the hackle came loose and it would not float upright. I know these little fish were hungry and this would not work in a technical or pressured stream, but sure was fun catching these little guys on that tore up fly!
Here is a close up of how bad it really was:
