- The parachute caddis is a high visibility caddis that can be tied in small sizes and multiple colors. You can also use calf body hair for the parachute post but synthetics are easier for most people.

Hook: TMC 100 or Daiichi 1100, Size 14-20
Thread: Veevus 14/0 Olive or 8/0 Uni Olive Dun
Body: Fulling Mill Tactical Dry Fly Dubbing, BWO

Amazing looking fly I can see it working as a Caddis and a hopper pattern
Yep! There is a hopper pattern that’s pretty similar created by the originator.
That’s 🎉 a Dandy HJR !!!!!!

Thanks for tuning in!
That is a great looking parachute pattern - thanks!
Thanks for the view!
That cool, great looking parachute. I've used Flexament a lot for feather slips. But my parachutes suck 😅 the post tilts forward with calf hair. I'll have to try synthetics. Thanks
right on. the synthetics are easier to work with- they compress down nicely
Yeah, give the synthetics a try. Calf body looks better but is hard to work with.
I’ve got to practice these parachute posts! 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for sharing. Never heard of this “Flexament”. When I look it up, I get that it is something typically used for tire lettering?
Google it under Umpqua flexament and you will find it under that name. Or Dave’s flexament.
That did not come up in my original search - I’ll try again. Thanks!
