Hello All Was just rereading Dressing Flies for fresh and salt water by Poul Jorgensen. In chapter 7 he mentions all fur nymphs dressed by Wayne Leonard of Harrisburg Pa. I was wandering if anyone knows of any other articles or books where he shows how to make these nymph patterns ? I believe I had seen a demonstration of him tying at a T U meeting years ago... thank you and happy holidays...Jim

That's good advice, Shoe, IF you have the materials to "get familiar with" in the first place.For a tier that DOESN'T have the material ... what would be good substitutes for fox fur? That's me, I don't have any substitutes ....

Thank you so much, they never showed on my searches....j

Hey guys: you are great !!! Thank you for all your replys , thanks so much....Jim

Well to me the video is different from a paraloop or hackle stacker. The Chauncy Lively & Roy Christy style pattern, as shown by Cammista, results in a fly that looks like the OP's image, much more than a straight paraloop. The method of tying down the loop, winding the hackle inside the loop,then pulling the loop tight, results in a thin, flat disk of hackle, much like a parachute. Here's one in our fly DB by flyslinger that shows the style. I'm not sure if flyslinger is active, but maybe he or TCTrout can clear this up. Hackle stacker/paraloop results in a "bush" of hackle, sort of a hemi-sphere, not a disk. One of ScottP's lovely paraloops as shown in his SBS.
