I've always loved tying and fishing parachutes. They are a challenge to tie as well as a very effective style. The impression the put on the water's surface is strikingly like a struggling mayfly, And I'm sure the fish interpret them to be everything from stoneflies to hoppers. Whatever the case it is often that I find my parachutes in the mouths of colorful wild fish.

ReplyDeleteThe Adams is one of my top dry flies of all time---nice job on the other patterns. Thanks for sharing
Thank you,
DeleteIf you don't have an Adams in your box you are doin something wrong.
Parachutes usually work when others don't.
ReplyDeleteI'm becoming a fan of Harry Murray's Mr. Rapidan.
That is true. The Mr. Rapidan is a very good pattern.
DeleteNice ties! I might attempt a parachute soon, but I have pretty low expectations for how it's going to turn out.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
DeleteThey are a bit tough.
Nicely tied!
