^{This is not exactly a parachute but the wings are hi-vis. It has been a great spring to fall fly for me.}

Looks great! I have a problem with mine. It only floats for a couple secs then the stupid thing sinks.

whats the white material tied behind the hackle?

J:Son Caddis Adult Wing Material Micro. Easy and quick to put on.

Did you try Gink or Mucilin fly dressing?

[Jdecoudres]

no not yet i just tied them up and tried them in the sink. Thats what i was going to try when i get to the river

Just use foam instead of dubbing- that dubbing acts like a sponge. Just cut a thin strip of black craft foam- tie it in and spin it on into the body. Depending on the hook, it will usually float without the hackle.
