.........ahhhhh. A Parachute with a hook that points up.
Makes great logical sense. I tried it, many years ago, and
what I tied had a tendency to land upside down, or to
land on its side. So I abandoned it.

Seems to work for you, however.

If your post (middle of parachute, typically calf tail) is long
enough, and the hackle your using is long enough it will stay floating
the right way. its good for light hitting fish, because the hook is
already pointing up, so you hook them right on the nose.
jules, see you on the water.

On the nose, huh? Well, the joke will be on you if they are wearing
those fake nose-and-glasses things...
