Thats a very interesting style of fly. Is this a reverse parachute?

Terry,

When I tie mine I use calftail.

Then I clip the calftail close to the hackle and darken the post stub with a marker.

When fished just under the surface they are awesome.

I use a vanishing nylon post to make a really durable fly, have not yet worn one out!
