Parachute Spinner
LFT-T90.14Description
The parachute tying technique was likely developed in the 1920s and patented in the US and England by William A. Brush in 1931; it only really caught on in the 1950s and '60s, popularized in part by American limestone-creek specialist Vincent Marinaro. No single inventor can be named for the specific combination with the spinner design - the spread, prone wing shape of a dying mayfly.
The upright, white wing post keeps it visible in every light, while the dark, segmented body lies flush on the water, just like a dead or dying spinner. It's fished dead-drift and is a reliable choice especially during evening spinner falls, when trout key in on mayflies drifting on the surface.
Fair Trade, Full Circle
Your flies are tied fairly, with the best materials, on a barbless hook. "Fliegenfischen mit Herz" is building a base for women in Nairobi. The women there own and run the tying workshop themselves, giving them economic independence, pride in their craft, and joy in their customers. Let's work together toward a more balanced world.
