Oleg Liachov
(aka:
wetfly)
Lithuania
Oleg is a kind and generous person that is willing to help others at his own expense. He's a native of Lithuania but has traveled and fished much of Europe. His excellent tying talent is displayed with the flies on this site.
For the last 2 years (2002 & 2003) Oleg has traveled mostly by sea out of ports in the USA. He then returned to Lithuania to continue his archeticual studies at a local University.
Pictured at right is Oleg with salmon he caught on the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
The picture below was taken in 1998 after catching his first European trout.

Ed Gallop's Instructions: I can't find the originator of the Paraloop hackling method but I do know it isn't a new method. Here's the way I tie it:
For the post you can tie in a section of mono or use thread, floss, etc. Make a loop in the mono (or whatever) and hold it upright with your finger in the loop, or use a gallows (parachute tool). Attach the feather as you would any normal parachute. If you use your left index finger to hold up the post you can pass the feather around (hand to hand) with your thumb and other fingers.
Wrap the hackle on the post as you would a normal parachute. Then pull the loop forward and secure near the front of the fly. Trim off access post material. It's as easy as that. Ed.
