Yes, that is a picture of the parasol nymph that I have used. It
works when nothing else does. Also, years ago I discovered parachute
nymphs (PT and GRHE). The too worked quite well.

I tie PTs down to size 24. No tail and no pheasant used on ones
smaller than #18. Simply brown thread for the body, the smallest
diameter wire I can find for ribbing, peacock herl thorax, and a very
small tuft of cream antron cut very short for wings. Works very well
on my home waters.
