Try long thin hackle for the wings, you can cut and shape it pretty easily if needed.
OK, finally got around to making one. It's alot of work, if my buddy likes them he's gonna have to pay dearly for them. What do you think? I don't like the wings, gonna have to try something different.

I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
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.

We're at KY Lake right now. Gonna give it a try for bass when the weather settles down. Alot of rain and it's only in the fifties. Got soaking wet this morning.
