Description

This fly was inspired by the incredible dragon dry fly fishing in Chile and Argentina. None of the patterns on the market had the proper profile, density, buoyancy, or durability that was needed. My solution was to use the same principles that I had used in the creation of the Morrish Hopper but make a dragonfly instead. It is a great dry and also a fun, highly buoyant indicator fly from which leeches and nymphs can be suspended.

Field Notes

This is a buoyant dragonfly dry fly designed for stillwater and trout fishing, especially when fish are keying on adult damsels or dragons. It can be fished as a dry on the surface or used as a high-floating indicator fly to suspend leeches and nymphs underneath.

Pros

  • Highly buoyant and durable
  • Good imitation for dragonfly adults
  • Can double as an indicator fly

Cons

  • Best when fish are feeding on larger surface insects
  • May be too bulky for delicate presentations
