Making A DragonFly Lure!

This is a dragonfly or a blue damsel! It’s a complicated fly but great to have in the fly box. You can use it for bass, panfish, and even trout. If you have the time, it's worth a tie! Find all the needed materials on the J.Stockard website here!

So cool #FLYTYING

Glad you came around to making this! I've also found that using blue hackle instead of dubbing works well. For people who don't have the wing material, you can use poly yarn as I do, it helps quite a lot! #flytying

[@Dudesunperfect]

I don’t think you understand how easy you make this look mate 😂 well done #flytying

[@shannaerattary4984]

I came from instagram. I am disappointed you didn’t put resin on this one. Watching these always relax me.

[@da_bammer]

I am new to #flytying and really want to try this pattern!
Nice video als always🎉

Thank you and good luck in the drawing!

[@charlesholley4449]

Great looking fly. Thanks for sharing.

[@mashed_potatofiend3218]

Awesome fly! I’ve been trying to find a way to make better foam tails, and a thinner needle like you used might just be what I need! I also love those wings, although poly yarn is my go to! #flytying

[@jeffcollins5320]

Great fly but it helicopters bad and twists the hell out of your leader. In my experience anyway. I only use it with bow and arrow casts

[@dazdeluxe6672]

Bow and arrow? Any vids?

[@oarfish36]

#flytying I love this pattern, Looks amazing! I loved trying to catch Damsel Flies as a kid and succeded several times.

[@MainelyFlies]

Thanks! Maybe you’ll catch this one too haha

Absolutely this would be a great one for that! Best of luck!

#flytying I love tying these ones, they're just a fun pattern. If you don't have the wings, it works well with poly yarn too

[@nicgagnon3127]

#flytying Definitely got to pick up some of those wings and try that pattern keep up the great videos

Great for mayfly wings that stand up or a spinner too!

Your links are not working for material for the fly. Would you able to update them?

I just starting out fly fishing and this would be a really cool first fly. #flytying

Yeah it would 😂 even id be jealous! Mine was a pretty ratty dry fly. Good luck!

[@bodestinnett781]

#flytying always love the videos, because of you I picked up fly tying and also joined the discord, such a good community that has helped me so much.

[@PaintballShyguy]

Sweet fly. Some markers would add nice detail! #flies

[@MainelyFlies]

I thought about doing that but kinda forgot

[@MainelyFlies]

Might have to go back and try may art skills

[@itswoods]

that looks amazing
#flytying

[@backcast4220]

How well does this fly cast. I suspect the wings would cause a lot of twisting of the tippet

[@MainelyFlies]

Not sure I’ve never casted it with these wings I normally use Polly. Should work fine with a larger tippet. I’d give it a try but it’s -40 here with the wing chill right now 🤣

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

​@@MainelyFlies #flytying. Great looking fly but casts like hell. It twists when cast, even with a short, stiff leader. I made wings (shorter) from Congo Hair and the fly cast well. Thanks for the good video.

What was that triangle tool? #flytieing

[@chevy_vette_6949]

It's called a whip finisher. You wrap your thread around it and it makes a little knot to tie off the fly

[@MainelyFlies]

Yup very useful tool you can do it by hand but these are far cleaner

It would really top off the video if you would catch a fish on it at the end

I might consider playing around with that format in the future. I do have a second channel that's all about that though @MainelyOutDoors
