PARACHUTE & OTHER DRY FLIES The term parachute fly is given to flies in which the hackle is tied round a projection affixed
to the top of the hook shank near the eye so that the hackle lies horizontally across the hook which it covers in the manner
of an open umbrella. The weight of the hook underneath the circular hackle balances the fly which falls lightly on the water
parachute fashion. Various patterns are tied in the parachute style and a Scottish tackle firm was the first to commercially
market these flies a long time ago. It is not certain who invented them but an American called William Brush of Detroit applied
for an American patent for the idea in 1931 and it was granted in 1934. The patent related to the projection on the hook and
not the fly itself. |
