Review by: Charles Thomas on July 13, 2010 :
This simple little booklet has proved a real winner. I have always had problems with parachute flies falling to bits after a fish or two. Rolston's insights and descriptions have changed the way that I tie flies and there won't be any going back to the old ways for me. If you are a fly tyer you are going to love this simple explanation of how to make your parachute flies more durable, more imitative and faster to manufacture.
