Notes:
David Sloan is a fly fishing guide and fly tier based at American Fly Shop in Sacramento, CA. Many of his patterns are marketed through Umpqua Feather Merchants and distributed throughout the world. The Paralyzer was a creation of his about a decade ago being a merging of the highly successful Stimulator and Schoeder's Parachute Hopper. His pattern was tied on a smaller 2xL dry fly hook, the Tiemco 2312, and could be used for small stoneflies and caddis imitations. David tied these in three colorations, Orange (October Caddis), Olive (Caddis), and Yellow (Little Yellow Stones). Soon, legs were added to the pattern and a Tan coloration was added for imitating the lighter colored small hoppers and stones of late Summer. A few years ago, David adjusted the pattern once more by tying the pattern on a Tiemco 100 or 101 hook. This condensed version became known as a Caddis Paralyzer, generally tied in Olive, size 14-16, and met more of the needs of a caddis pattern in the smaller sizes. |
