Fulling Mill Blue Winged Olive Para Spot On

What a parachute hackle actually changes

A parachute hackle is wound flat around an upright post instead of around the hook, and the difference is where the body ends up. A conventionally hackled dry is held clear of the water on hackle tips; a parachute lets the body lie right down in the film, which is where a real dun actually sits. That is the reason to choose this over the standard version. The orange post is there so you can follow it.
