Parachute Options

The second entry for today: Just a couple of dun imitations to consider:



Hook: TMC100 #16
Thread: Sheer 14/0, tan
Tails: Microfibbets
Abdomen: Wapse superfine, dun
Thorax: Awesome Possum, amber
Hackle: Ginger Metz, red label
Post: TMC Aerowing, tan


The alternative, with a wound CDC hackle. This is tied with the fibres in a split thread and then wound around the post as a parachute. The whip finish is under the hackle, in the 'usual' way.
