Cut your poly yarn into 1″ pieces.
Tie the two pieces of poly yarn together, at their mid point, using a clinch knot.
Moisten, and tighten.
Using a fine comb, hold the tippet tight and comb the poly yarn. Rotate as you comb making it one bunch.
It should look like this.
Prepare your hook, and tie on the parasol tippet. Position it according to how you want the fly to ride in the water. I like mine to float almost horizontally, so I position mine roughly in the middle of the hook shank.
Dub/rib the abdomen. Lift the parasol up making several fine wraps of dubbing in front to hold it up. The fine tippet is supple, it won’t fight you! Complete the fly.
This recipe is compliments of Rob O'Reily.
Holding the parasol straight up, clip it to a length no longer than 3/16″ of an inch.
Your finished product - enjoy!
