Parasol Nymphs

[EdD]

There's a FOTW article some time back by Kelly Glissmeyer on parasols. He's a really good fly tier, and a really good fisherman, and he really likes them.

Personally, I haven't tied or tried them. I prefer to just trail the unweighted nymph off a dry fly of the same "hatch." That gives the fishy two options for dining out.

P.S. Here's a link to Kelly's approach.

John, be honest about that pattern. If that fly had rubber legs you'd be all over it.
I'm thinking about modifying a Rat-faced McDougall to include ruber legs. I think it might have worked well on my last trip to the Duck. It might work well on my next trip out.
