SBPatt 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 Jay’s Parachute Adams A neat, old-school pattern from Jay Nicholas. Original called for a body of muskrat or grey yarn but I still had the coyote underfur in the comb from the Rat pattern so I used it here. hook - WFC Model 3 #10 thread - Veevus 8/0 black tail - calftail white abdomen - dubbing coyote thorax - dubbing dark olive wing - calftail white (butts from tail; trimmed) hackle - grizzly/brown Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toothy 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 Hendrickson Biot Comparadun A wonderfully simple and effective pattern just jazzed up a bit with use of a biot abdomen. I am a sucker for a biot body! I first saw this style of comparadun wing tied by Charlie Craven. If you look at the wing from behind (in the second photo) you can see the butts of the deer hair wing. The wing is trimmed to length prior to tying it on to the hook and the butts are left to make a handsome little sunburst shape behind the wing. No need to trim the butts after tying the wing in if done correctly. Materials Hook: TMC 101 Thread: Uni 8/0 in Camel Tail: Ginger Bardo Coq de Leon Abdomen: Hendrickson dyed goose biot Thorax: Harrop's TroutHunter Professional Dry Fly Dubbing in Tan Wing: Nature's Spirit Short/Fine deer hair -Nathan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SBPatt 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 Nathan, Nice. I prefer Charlie’s version over the standard Compara/Sparkleduns; for me, they’re quicker/easier to tie and the exposed deer hair butts provide more buoyancy. Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spotted Bass, Largemouth and the occasional overzealous green sunfish all seem to love these little crease flies. Gamakatsu B10S #4, 140 denier thread, Marabou & flash tail, 2mm Craft Foam body. Quick, easy and fairly indestructible once coated with epoxy or UV resin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
