Bill, I've looked the article up. The author was indeed Roman Moser. he called his pattern 'Para-Sedge'. You know 'Sedge' is british for caddis (Just in case...) the ty is: Hook thread base with yellow solk dub with orange dub (no tail) underwing made from CDC fibers Overwing from some sparkeling neon fibers A foam strip tied in as parachute post. brown hackle, wound parachute style fold post to the hook eye as shown in your photos Whip and fini. Roman glues a 'security' thread to the foam strip before he ties it in. This keeps the hackle in place, when some trout might chew up the foam.

I'm not at home right now, but if memory serves, the author was Roman Moser. Probably Roman's pattern was without a tail. I'm pretty sure that he used a foam strip for the parachute post and the thorax as well. When I'm home I'll try to lock up the article and give you more details.Best Rene Bill schrieb:Hi All, I am having trouble coming up with a name for this swap fly. I just came up with the pattern one morning before the day's fishing. I don't want to give it a name because once you do that you find out it already has 5 names. I'll give a link to what the fly looks like below. Joyce said that she knows the pattern as a "foam top emerger" however the only foam top emerger photos I could find on the net or in books are nothing like this parachute style pattern that I tied. Help??? Anybody else have any input? http://www.graysharborcomputer.com/flyfish/P-PswapMartin.htm Still a rookie in many respects. Bill P. |
