Parachute Mayfly
Tier: Vladimir Markov
Hook: Mustad 94840 bended to scud shape, sizes 16 to 10
Thread: To match head color
Egg sack: Yellow, olive dubbing or tinsel
Tail: Microfibbets
Rib: Gold tinsel or none
Body: Biots, hackle stem or very fine dubbing
Thorax: Fly-rite poly dubbing
Wings: Organza or few strands of fine mono inside Betts zing
Hackle: Rooster hackle
Note: This is the most useful and successful in my practice
may fly pattern. Colors to suit mayflies of your area. For wings: Take couple of
fibers from Organza and tie it in to top of the shank. If it is
necessary color the post with permanent marker. Take a 1" (25mm)
length and 2/8"(6mm) to 1/2"(12mm) wide depend on hook size of Bets Zing.
Fold it along its center and tie it over the fibers to the shank of
the hook. The Organza fibers have to be inside Betts Zing.
