Way cool! That’s what I call a creative pattern by Mr. Sanchez. He certainly is one of the “masters” of foam flies!
I like tying my ant patterns that way as well. I do have a question–is there any particular reason to tie in a parachute hackle? Wouldn’t a regular (vertical, I guess) hackle or some tied in legging material work as well and be easier to deal with?
I do like the post–must try that in future.
