Generic Parachute dry fly. Parachute flies have the hackle wrapped around a vertical post rather than around the hook shank. This tying method allows the fly to set flat and lower in the water, thus presenting a bigger target image for fish. The vertical post also provides better visibility of the fly to the fisher, different colors for matching fly species and/or light conditions on the water.

Hook: Mustad 94840, size 12
Thread: Veevus E12 - Tan 8/0
Tail: Brown and grizzly hackle fibers
Body: Lemon Yellow Polyester dubbing
Ribbing: Fine green wire
Post: Neon orange polyester yarn
Hackle: 1 each grizzly and brown
