TSMcDougald 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2020 Near the end of the April thread Kimo brought up the reverse parachute method pioneered by Roy Christie. I had been aware of this technique and had been toying with trying it. My first three attempts are below. In the first two I did not go far enough into the bend before doing the hackle. The third is much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an afterthought, one of the the things I noticed about Christie's flies is that he uses multiple types of dubbings - in different colors - and the dubbing looks a bit scruffy (deliberatly so in my opinion) so I tried to imitate that.

It's just that Roy's a bit scruffy himself.😄 He is on this board but doesn't come around too often. Check his FB page Reverse Parachutes. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RickZieger 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2020 This is a no tie fly. Can tie on the leader, pull it back into the foam, turn the hook so it is above the body. Cast it and float it across vegetation around the pond. Top and bottom views Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
