Tying small CDC para flies

[Lucian]

many fly tiers avoid tying para on hooks smaller than size 18 because they have thick fingers or or find this to difficult.
bellow you can find an easy way to tie small CDC parachute:

olive emerger

hook: Daiichi D1130 #20
thread: 17/0 UniThread
body: peacock olive quill
tail:cream fibers
hackle: olive CDC barbs









fix the cdc barbs with one turn of thread



fix the polypropylene fibers on the cdc barbs



fix the cdc barbs and polypropylene in X method


make 3 turns of thread on the base of the hackle to spread and fix finally the cdc barbs






trim the polypropylene



trim the cdc barbs

It is all well and good you saying that there is an easy way The thing is you just make it look easy and lead us earthlings to believe we could do that .
You are clearly not from this world IMO but saying that doesn't mean I want your mother ship to come and get you anytime to soon as your SBS's and flies are just a pure joy to look at and want your postings to continue ...
