    I like the pattern shown at the link. However I prefer either a glass bead or peacock hurl for the head.

    I'm not sure what it represents. I made it by accident, but it really catches fish.

    Now, if I could just remember how I did it..........

    Of course that's nothing relative to a real dragon nymph, maybe some movie's dragon.

    I would like to know how you can get such a abdomen affect with marabou. I've always used the "blood" quills and they never have such long soft looking barbs. Would full marabou plumes be different?

    Ray: I use an entire blood quill on each fly. Also most of my flies are tied with a weighted body. I have also tied them with medium olive chenille over the weight. The fish seem to like them both ways.
