Tying Flies the Paraloop Way

By Ian Moutter

Ian Moutter, with his detailed development and step-by-step sequence photos of what he calls the paraloop method, has developed an entirely new technique. The paraloop, like a parachute fly, rides low in the water (where the fish are). But unlike the parachute, the versatile paraloop method can be used to tie a whole range of traditional fly patterns in an entirely new way. Moutter outlines this method in detailed instructions and step-by-step photographs. No fly tyer should be without this essential book.

Worth adding to your technique

Mr. Moutter has developed a tying style that greatly improves on the presentation of emergers. This is the 22nd century answer to Swisher & Richards. It is also the easiest way I know of to tie parachute hackle without too prominent a post.All you need is the book, some spandflex (or Kevlar or GSP) , a gallows tool for your vise a rubber band and a paperclip. An hour later you will have the technique down and the possibilities thereafter are endless.There are many patterns illustrating the application of the technique in this fine book, but that is merely a starting point.This is the only style I know of that is not in Leeson & Schollmeyer's magnificent Flytier's Benchside Reference. This is a must have book if you ever fish to selective trout. . .
