Great tie! It kinda surprises me how few parachute patterns there are out there that utilize cdc instead of (or in addition to) a feather. It's so easy to do, it's more buoyant, and it's more "buggy".
@@Thefeatherbender great! Please tell me what you think. So just to be clear, your hook will be in the normal horizontal position and you will hold the bobbin vertical but upside down, then start wrapping. Cheers!
Another great tie, I will be tying some of these and utilising the method with cdc for other parachute hackled flies such as the klinkhamar, the cdc looks a great addition with the buggy effectand extra flotability. Really like the mustad heritage hooks but they are pain to source in the UK.
Has there ever been a parachute style fly made with a post not of synthetic material? or was this style of fly invented after plastic posts were available?
Hi, yes there are many other materials used for parachute posts, deer hair, calf tail and snow shoe rabbit are a few of the more popular natural materials used.
Nice as usual, guess what I wil be doing this weekend!! 2 questions Barry please, this is year round fly? The sheer thread, that is GG Sheer or is which manufacturer? TIA
Hi Kevin, thanks. As an emerger if tied in different sizes to match the hatch you can fish it all year round. The Sheer thread is Gordon Griffiths, now made by Veniard.
The CDC hackle under the cock hackle looks a great addition to the fly, I will be using this technique on all the parachute hackled flies I tie including Klinkhammers, I llove the buggy look it gives the fly plus the extra flotability, I really like the heritage barbless hooks too but they are difficult to source in the UK.

Yeah, you can actually replace most hackle types and styles with CDC!
Beautiful Pattern, beautifully Tied! Thanks Barry ...
Thanks Keith.
As usual a masterclass Barry, glad your back,stay safe and well, Big Davie
Thanks Davie.
Very good looking product Thanks Barry
Thank you.
Very nicely done Berry 👍
Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful. You've driven me back to the vise, Barry. I'm thinking that extra CDC level would work too, on a standard Para Adams.
Excellent! Great news.. I can confirm that it works very well on an Adams.
Brilliant idea! Thank you for showing this pattern. I´ll try it. Great pattern. 💪😀
You are very welcome! Good luck with it.
Thanks Barry, another brilliant video. Keep them coming from the old man in Stoke 🎣🪰
Thanks George.
@4:53, if you invert the bobbin while wrapping the post, your thread won’t slip and you can control the wraps way better. Try it!
I will!
