Dragonfly Tales

In case someone wants to try one, here a picture for reference.


This guy landed on our driveway while we were unloading groceries. It was coming a pretty good rain too. Me and wife found him a dry spot under the wave of our house, so maybe he can dry out and then be on his way to wherever

Great pictures!! Thanks for posting them.

I can remember seeing them by the thousands right at dusk when I was growing up.

We always get them by the bunch here in East Texas. That would be the large size one.

I have never seen so many different colors and sizes of Dragonfly's, since moving to Florida a year ago today.Attachment 204204

I played around at the tying vise yesterday and the one I tied looks close to your pic. I think it will fish well on the fly rod.

How did you make wings?

The material is Thin-Wing. It's used in fly tying and you use a wing burner to cut out the shape you want using a brass wing pattern.

Thanks for the info, Stump. Looks like I've got some researching to do. Now that my desk is almost finished, I'll have some free time.

That's an awesome looking tie
