"For this fly tying tutorial, I chose to demonstrate the Parachute Hare's Ear, a pattern with the capability to represent many different insects on the water. The fly was tied on an Allen Fly Fishing hook, the D103BL, which is a barbless 1xl dry fly/nymph hook (http://www.allenflyfishing.com/d103bl...). Variations of this fly can include a change in the color of the body, hackle, and ribbing; basically, feel free to modify as needed based on your natural insects." - Tim
