Parachute Iron Blue SZ 14

The term parachute fly is given to flies in which the hackle is tied round a projection affixed to the top of the hook shank near the eye so that the hackle lies horizontally across the hook which it covers in the manner of an open parachute. The weight of the hook underneath the circular hackle balances the fly which falls lightly on the water parachute fashion. These is a deadly flies for weary trout and great for other freshwater species.
