Parachute Flies
 
The parachute style of dry fly is interesting because it allows the fly's body to rest on the surface film, supported by the tail at the bend, and the horizontally wound hackle up front.  The hackle, since more fibers are in contact with water's surface, is tied much more sparse than standard dries, and typically the fibers are longer.
