Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.
I'm an inexperienced parachute tier! Never figured out how to tie off and not get my hackle fibers stuck in the whip finish. I am getting a little better.
I pull em up out of the way to finish -pretty firmly. Then pull em back down after. Helps to leave enough shank for the head to begin with -not crowd the head. I start with the post, tying it in a bit further back on the shank than one might think -about a third way back. Hope this helps.
