Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2015 Love the no hackle flies, and they are tricky to tie! For Duns I fish a Chauncy Lively pattern, over the years it has morfted into a popular Hendrickson It is a burnt wing reversed Hackle. one of the keys to pattern is to cut a small V section , running under and paralle to the body. This allows fly to set alittle low which (in theory), allows a better body silhouttethat may help catch more fish. I see other similar comments above and I'm addin to it. Parachutes are great for me because they set well and are very easy to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the sidewinder wings are very difficult. Any asymmetry and you get a fly that spins and twists the tippet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
