flyguy613 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 Tried the Royal parachute madame x last night, I feel it came out looking really well and I will definitely fish it with confidence. Not really a tough pattern at all just quite a few steps and getting it to look nice is a challenge as with any fly I suppose, this is my first dry fly Ive tied other than hoppers like the Juans Hopper Juan. Had to use Antron for the post and chinese red floss as I didnt have the white poly or red floss left Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
