That's a beauty. Is there a YouTube video anywhere for this pattern?

Thanks. I haven't looked, but there must be numerous videos. It's been around a long while. You might search for parachute madam x as well as PMX.

Inspired by the brookie thread. Trimmed the tail and used the cut fur for a dubbing loop instead of wrapping squirrel zonker strip.

Thanks for the inspiration! I was actually thinking about spinning up some stimmies this week, just didn’t get it done. Maybe I’ll clean up my tying area and crank out a few this evening. I really enjoy tying that pattern.

Edit: Huh. I just watched a couple videos out of curiosity, and it appears that at some point I added the flash tail and underwing to the original recipe. Must've been in my cups, but I've been doing it that way for years.

@hooker-of-men, thanks for posting that video!!!

I tied my own version and went to the stream after work today using an “all terrestrial” dry dropper with The GFA Hopper & unweighted Green Weenie.

One little wild brown & rainbow took the hopper and the other wild brown took the GW (a lot of sunfish took that too).

Thx for adding to my box!

Ha, just responded in the other thread then saw this. Right on! Hope you catch a biggun on it.
