So to add to my arsenal of flies, I tied up some BWO UV-Parachutes tonight that have a thread body. I don't normally tie flies with a thread body unless I am tying midges. But, a few weeks ago, we had a guest speaker who is a commercial fly tier and fly shop owner (Joseph Meyer) do a 'Parachute' clinic for us at one of the club meetings. The pattern he used had a thread body, so you could say I am a little inspired to add some thread body flies to my boxes.
Hook: TMC 100 (or other dry fly hook) size 16
Thread: Uni-Thread 0/6 Olive Dun
Body: Tapered thread body using the Uni-Thread 0/6 Olive Dun
Tail: three or four light dun cock barbs
Parachute: 4 strands of Wapsi Tan UV Krystal Flash and white polypropylene floating yarn, with three or four wraps of a medium dun dry fly feather.
