Fantastic video on this subject. So happy to see how you insist on functional tying and fishing properties. It makes so much sense and encourages me to keep going down that path
Over the years I've seen a lot of Y-T vids on this subject, but none have had the detail, thought and explanation as you've presented here. I've learned a number of things. Thank you; well done!
Great video, the thread control and cinching with the change in translucency demonstrates perfectly the point. These are my favourite fly to tie and they catch me a lot of fish. I do find I switch between methods for the parachute and each works for me. I like the taper when tying the post on top and like to furl the post material a la Tim Flagler. Did you ever consider tying in a tippet ring at the “tail”to enable klink and dink/New Zealand style whatever you prefer to call it?
Thank you for your kind words. Those do catch a lot. Really a lot. I also switch between same methods but no furling here. I never used klink for a dropper fly i am doing it with foam flies and thick mono to create a loop. I may need to make some klinks with loop too. But i guess its good for wets not so much weighted flies?
Awesome technique, what material are you using for the post material? Are you using paracord? Thank you for your help in advance. I would like to get a straight post and clear like you show here in the video
I love how you formed the strong flat base parachute post with GSP and superglue Vladimir...so much easier to progress with the next tying steps...thanks also for the tip re: batch tying to help produce consistency...hope you are well
Glad you found it useful. As i was getting ready for this video i was experimenting myself, and this method for parachute post is the best in my opinion. Cheers 🍻
Good information, thanks, the only downside with making the post is de missing angle for tapered body what i use for biot bodies, what is your method for making tapered body when using the biot, is it with tread or some dubbing first?
@@ceesbouma2776 thank you so much. I never felt i had any problems with biot. If i am after taper, i make it with thread, then i use tiniest drop of gel superglue and add it near tie in point of biot.... I dont spread it at all. When wrapping the biot, it would push that drop of supeglue for me and disperse it around the shank.
That insta hackle is an abomination which I've been berating on RUclips for years. Fancy paying top-dollar for dry-fly hackles and throwing half away! And it looks dreadful, like something made by a machine
@@callumclark3358 I think these have their place, not to fish yet as an art form. Flies especially well tied flies with right proportions are a delight to behold and worthy of framing. Look at some of the classic salmon flies they’re amazing yet just not flies you’d likely fish. If it’s flies for fishing then form for sure follows function.
@robgreen6697 couldn't agree more. If as aesthetic feature, as i said in the video 100% go for it. I like pretty but functional flies. Function comes way before aesthetic. I think we are on the same page
@@robgreen6697 Ok, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I must admit my flies pretty much have to please me. But a parachute fly as an art form, seriously?
Thanks for showing the differens. Never used the insta, allwsys the trad metod. Gone try your tips on the folded hackle, use that on salmon and sestrout flies, could never imagin to use it on wingpost. Gone give it a go. ❤
@Oholisfliesandfishing sure did. I usually think outside the box 🤣🤣 Glad you shared this, looks awesome and no waste of expensive dryfly hackel, thats even better.. Love this. 😍
Nice video, especially the folded feather-technique👌 But there is something everybody seems to forget when tying the post of a parachute. You ALL got the angle wrong. When the post is as close to the hookeye such as on your fly the fly itself become unbalanced. The heaviest part (bend of the hook) will always tip down and work against the angle of your hackle. You can even see it clearly in your glas of water. The part of the hackle that is closest to the hookbend will be pushed down and the part that is closest to the hookeye will lift up from the surface. To avoid this and make the fly more boyant you have to angle the post towards the hookeye. That's basic laws of physics, but somehow nobody seems to think about that. They are happy because it's always been done like "that". Tried to explaine this in Norway, but it seems hard to let go of old traditions, so I gave it up😊 On all my types of hatching flies I try to keep the angel of my hackel as close to 90 degrees to the heaviest part of the hook as possible. Keep up the good work, love your videos👌
@ToreFossmo thats a very interesting thought. Makes sense. Same as folding hackle .. its obvious but i never thought of it. Thanks for pointing it out. I will make some flies with angled post. Thank you immensely 🍻🍻
@@Oholisfliesandfishing I'm just glad you understood my point. Not many do even it's really about simple physics. Tie up a couple and post it👍 Interesting to see your take on it!

bravo drug...savrseno objasnjeno kako treba,grijesio sam i ja 😀pozdrav
Hvala care. A ko nije grešio i jos gresi. Daleko smo od toga da sve znamo. A to je najlepse meni. 🍻
Another fantastic video! Some great information here.

Thanks a lot. I used textreme antron yarn. But equally good is hareline's para post wing.

Total control of fly tying. Thanks

Good stuff. I aways preen my hackle, up, on each turn, to try to avoid trapping barbs
@derekcunningham9993 thanks. Preening is one of the good ways i agree 👍

Glad you saw something new. I was also surprised about folding dry hackle when i first heard of it. But when you try it it makes total sense.
