# **How to Choose 15 SUPER LIGHT BLUE Polypropylene (Polypro) Yarn / Parachute Posts for Fly Tying**
Fly tying is an art that requires precision, the right materials, and an understanding of how different components affect your fly’s performance. Among the essential materials for tying parachute-style flies, **Super Light Blue Polypropylene (Polypro) Yarn** stands out for its buoyancy, durability, and visibility. In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the best **15 SUPER LIGHT BLUE Polypro Yarn** for your fly tying needs, ensuring your flies float high and attract more fish.
## **Why Choose Polypropylene Yarn for Parachute Posts?**
Polypropylene yarn is a top choice for parachute posts due to its unique properties:
1. **Superior Buoyancy** – Unlike natural fibers, polypro yarn repels water, keeping your fly floating longer.
2. **Lightweight & Durable** – It’s strong yet incredibly light, making it ideal for delicate dry flies.
3. **High Visibility** – The **Super Light Blue** color stands out on the water, helping anglers track their fly in fast-moving currents.
4. **Easy to Work With** – Polypro yarn is stiff enough to form a stable post but soft enough to wrap smoothly.
## **Key Factors When Choosing Polypro Yarn for Fly Tying**
### **1. Thickness & Density**
The best parachute posts require yarn that is **thin yet dense enough** to maintain structure. **15-denier (SUPER LIGHT)** polypro yarn is ideal—it’s fine enough for small flies but robust enough for larger patterns.
### **2. Color Selection**
While **Super Light Blue** is excellent for visibility, ensure the shade matches your fly’s overall profile. Some anglers prefer fluorescent or UV-reactive blue for low-light conditions.
### **3. Water Repellency**
High-quality polypro yarn should **resist saturation**. Test it by placing a strand in water—if it stays afloat without absorbing moisture, it’s perfect for parachute posts.
### **4. Stiffness vs. Flexibility**
Too stiff, and the yarn won’t wrap cleanly; too soft, and the post may collapse. The **15 SUPER LIGHT BLUE Polypro Yarn** from **KyleBooker** offers the perfect balance.
### **5. Brand Reliability**
Not all polypro yarns are equal. **KyleBooker’s** premium polypropylene yarn is pre-tested for fly tying, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
## **Best Applications for Super Light Blue Polypro Yarn**
– **Parachute Adams, BWOs, and Midges** – The buoyant post keeps the fly riding high.
– **Chernobyl Ants & Hopper Patterns** – Adds visibility without adding weight.
– **Euro Nymphing Indicators** – The bright blue helps detect subtle strikes.
## **Final Tips for Tying with Polypro Yarn**
– **Use a Half-Hitch Tool** – Helps secure the post without crushing delicate fibers.
– **Trim at an Angle** – Creates a cleaner, more aerodynamic post.
– **Apply Floatant** – Though polypro repels water, a light silicone treatment enhances buoyancy.
## **Conclusion**
