Just google "Parachute Daddy" and you'll get a useful pattern. Recipe I tie:_HOOK:10-14, Thread: 8/0 brown, BODY:Brown Seal's fur or Hare's Ear fur RIB:Gold Holographic Tinsel. LEGS: Six or Eight Knotted Pheasant Tail Fibres HACKLE:Thick Brown or Red Game Cocks WINGPOST:Yellow, Pink, Lime etc. highly visible antron or aero wing. Tight Lines

Hi Flytier7

Just checked Google and the Parachute Daddies look good. I'm going to tie some. Thanks for the reference.

Ah, the dry fly anglers blob. Anyway, if your version is working Kev, then it is the 'proper' pattern.

Oooh, and don't forget that miracle of modern science, the 'daddy snatcher'

You will have to excuse the tying as I had only just started tying at the time I posted this but I still use the pattern and it catches a fair few fish.
