Now THAT fly I could see and possibly tie with stuff I have laying around ( well, maybe not). BUT, very nice work Scott. And Thank You for keeping this place “alive” with your contributions.

PS: A blaze orange parachute would be even more visible at longer distances.
Mark,
Agreed. Hot orange is my preferred parachute post color; I can see it a lot better than any other color (hot pink is second best).

Scott
Gordo Cripple (Quigley variation)
The hackle’s from a cape I bought probably 25 years ago; not as dense as today’s stuff but I love the color.
