Fly Tying Tutorial: Mil-Spec PARACHUTE PMD Mayfly DRY FLY

[@garyweglarz]

I like the way you tied off the hackle, versus what I've always done of trying to capture it at the head. Very nice. Thanks.

Love those PMDs! When trout are fixated on them here in Colorado, they wont touch anything else! This is a nice pattern...relatively simple, easy to tie, economical! Cheers and thanks for sharing!

[@abefrohman1759]

Very cool tie.

What does mil-spec mean?

[@gkeightysix]

Some cool techniques in this tie. Have you ever had issues with finishing the fly with super glue and no whip finish?

[@FlyFishFood]

Never had one come undone

[@gkeightysix]

Fly Fish Food cheers mate

Nicely done.

Can you add a materials list to this one? I’m pretty new to this and am not familiar with some of the materials referred to in the video.

Here is a link with a recipe. www.flyfishfood.com/2018/06/mil-spec-parachute-pmd.html?m=1

[@Big-three492]

So you don’t half hitch and just use super glue to hold the thread in place?

[@FlyFishFood]

Correct.
