Re: dragonflies everywhere
Big Bad Wulff,
I don't know why Bass leap for Dragonflies! I don't think a Adult Dragonfly is a serious menu item. Also HOW R U going to simulate a Flying Dragon?
I have fished with Dragon Nymphs and I was amazed at the ferocity the fish showed towards them.
Good Luck!
Doug
Re: dragonflies everywhere
They hit them on the surface of the water when they make the ultimate mistake and get stuck in the water.
I am gonna se if I can get one to leap for it too but mainly I plan to fish it on the surface and just let it drop naturally. Right now all the fish in the pond are hitting nearly anything on the drop....if you just let it drop and don't strip it.
They will hit my bead-eyed wooley buggers on the drop now but I want to get something they are currently really looking for and that is dragonflies dropping into the water.
Re: dragonflies everywhere
I have heard of times when trout will key on adult damsel flies and that the way to fish is a spent one on the surface.... they will jump for them but are also keying on spent adults...I see no reason why it doesn't happen for dragon flies...
I'm wondering though why you are using chenille for a floater....I would suggest foam....
I'm carrying some damsels just waiting for that time...

BBW,
Look at this!

Click Flies, Click Steelhead Flies, Click Waking Flies and Click Bombers.
Do you think this kind of fly might interest the Bass?

Because I want it to drop
Re: dragonflies everywhere
I guess you have to define "drop" for me.
Re: dragonflies everywhere
sink. Fish in this pond love flies that sink, drop, fall slowly thru the water.
Re: dragonflies everywhere
OK ...but I'm not sure why
