Rotated Parachute

Fly: Jim Cramer, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Partridge #HE1 Parachute Hook. The hook is modified by bending the post into a slight upward curve and cut to proper length.
Thread: Grey
Tail: Tied on the parachute post. Set the hook in the vise for ease of tying.
Wing: Wing is tied forward over the eye of the hook.
Wing: Woodduck flank
Hackle: Tied in the normal fashion around the shank of the hook behind and in front of the post.

Another experimental fly from an overactive imagination. I don’t know if it works because I haven't tried it yet.
