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.Quote:

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.Quote:

That's an awesome looking tie
Thanks for the pic, and the ties are great. I saw a smaller dragonfly with an electric blue color hovering behind my brother and I when fishing a small lake in FL years ago. Admiring the color I watched it for a few seconds when a largemouth about 2 1/2lbs cleared the water by 2 or 3 feet and snapped him out of mid air. My jaw hanging open I turned to ask if he had seen it but he was futzin with something and saw nothing but the splash. I think of that every time I see one.
