I sometimes use just a few strands of krystal flash in a pearl color

I'll have to give it a try. I had used Krystal Flash by itself
before, but wasn't happy with the way the wing came out. But just a few
strands mixed in sounds like it could be a plus.

I've been tying my parachutes with mostly chartreuse and orange
posts for visibility (especially on small flies), and it doesn't seem to
affect the fish's willingness to hit the flies, but I like the idea of
sticking with white for the posts.
