Thread: Dragonfly try

Try long thin hackle for the wings, you can cut and shape it pretty easily if needed.

Very nice ! I used a little buck tail fur for my wings .
Wonder how some cellophane for wings would work ?
Pat

Thanks, Im gonna try both see how they look. I thoght about the cellophane but figured I'd have a hard time cutting them in to shape and don't know how they would lay in the water, wether they would fold up and stick together, anyways gonna keep trying and see what happens.

Hey Pat I meant to ask if you every cuaght anything with your
Dragonflies yet

Pat -
If the rises are small, I'd imagine the culprit is shad - or some other kind of minnow-like fish. They do that down here in Louisiana this time of the year, and when it is in conjunction with bluegills, etc, it will drive you up the wall!
I'd give it one more try, and if the results are the same, give it a two-week rest.
