Amazing looking fly I can see it working as a Caddis and a hopper pattern

[@HopperJuan]

Yep! There is a hopper pattern that’s pretty similar created by the originator.

Thanks for tuning in!

That cool, great looking parachute. I've used Flexament a lot for feather slips. But my parachutes suck 😅 the post tilts forward with calf hair. I'll have to try synthetics. Thanks

[@martinhodell8465]

right on. the synthetics are easier to work with- they compress down nicely

[@HopperJuan]

Yeah, give the synthetics a try. Calf body looks better but is hard to work with.

I’ve got to practice these parachute posts! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for sharing. Never heard of this “Flexament”. When I look it up, I get that it is something typically used for tire lettering?

[@HopperJuan]

Google it under Umpqua flexament and you will find it under that name. Or Dave’s flexament.

[@jdigioia1130]

That did not come up in my original search - I’ll try again. Thanks!
