DennisS Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Just to let all know I have had several request on tying parachutes. I will set up a table Wed and any one that want to learn please drop in. I will have material with me if you don't. I do my parachutes a bit different, but I will say it is a whole lot easier doing it, my way a beginner can do this fly. main materials WING(post) Antron or poly Color your choice. HOOK(dry fly) Size of your choice HACKLE(1 size bigger then hook gap) color your choice Rest of material dub(color & material of your choice) tail(either hair or stiff hackle, antron) again your choice. See you at the club Dennis S Quote
Junior Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I tye my parachutes a little unorthodox as well. Easier to tye, and produces a better footprint. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Quote
Mica Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Look forward to to learning from you both... with luck hackle will arrive before the meeting so I have something other then a handfull of size 10s. Quote
DennisS Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Don't worry if they don't I'm sure I will have enough that you can have some for tying Wed night. See you there Mica. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote

Tight Lines AlwaysDennis S Thankyou both for the help last night... it's amazing how much simpler things are when you see them done in person instead of a still frame grab and instructions. Dennis ... my memory has failed me, what was the name of the company/website you ordered those pink/purple beads from ? Quote
DennisS Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Mica I got the beads at Helford Hides & Leather here in Edm. Addr. 8629 126 ave. It is just off the yellowhead. You can pull it up on the internet and it has a map. I believe that bag was $3.95 Bring lots of money because when you start brousing you going to find and see some real nice stuff. Also beware of the stink it is a tannery and it is real ripe in that area. I wasn't to bad the day. Maybe because its winter. I went in the summer and I Almost lost my lunch it stunk so bad. Good luck and any time you have questions let me know and I will do what I can or if I don't know there is someone at the club that will help. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote
