The parachute wing gives the fly a better floatability, especially fishing in rough water.

Dancing Teaser (Hans van Klinken)

Thread: Uni-thread, 8/0, colour olive
Ribbing: White saddle hackle and nylon stretch
Body: Uni Nylon stretch, colours chartreuse/ fl. green
Bottom Loop: Chartreuse coloured poly yarn (Wapsi) I use the loop to tie the hackle fibres (that pointing down from ribbing) in a horizontal direction.
Hackles: High quality saddle, colours ginger, light dun or white for ribbing and a larger neck hackle in front.
Wing: A bunch of soft pale grey almost whitish coloured reindeer hair. (Caribou)
Head: Reindeer hair (left overs) cut

This is a fancy variation that I designed at the Grey River in Nfld. It works well in Scandinavia and other provinces in Atlantic Canada.
