The parachute version of the sulphur dun sits flush in the film and is far more visible to the angler than the Catskill tie. Essential during the evening sulphur hatches of May and June.
1. Thread base — Attach yellow thread behind the eye and build a base to the bend.
2. Post — At the 1/3 point, tie in a small bunch of white poly yarn upright. Wrap the base tightly to keep the post vertical.
3. Tail — Tie in a sparse bunch of dun hackle fibers at the bend.
4. Body — Dub a slim, tapered sulfur yellow body from the bend up to the post base.
5. Hackle — Tie in a dun hackle at the base of the post. Wind 4–5 parachute turns descending around the post. Tie off at the base.
6. Head — Build a small head in front of the post. Whip finish and apply head cement.
