Flytier's Page and his articles in the Virtual Flyshop Flytier's Bench have contributed to my understanding of tying flies and developing fly patterns. The Parachute CDC Stone adapts the concepts of two of Hans Weilenmann's caddis fly patterns, the CDC & Elk and the PCE Emerger, to create a low-riding, medium sized stonefly imitation.
