As a beginner, I greatly appreciate the outstanding information & presentation you’ve given to enhance my fly fishing & tying knowledge
Thank you very much Brian
You’ve opened up a great deal of knowledge to improve my fly fishing skills
AS ALWAYS, great information that none ever give, thanks big time Brian ! 👍
Great information; many thanks for posting. Here in Alabama I am seeing numerous small, orange-winged dragonflies darting around the pond where I fish for Bluegill and Bass. I plan on trying to tie some dragonfly nymphs so your video is much appreciated.
If they have black bands on orange wings, they're called Halloween pennant dragonflies. Their nymphs are short and stubby with broad abdomen. Celithemis eponina.
I know I'm late to the party here. I have had crazy good luck or results with Skip Morris's Foam Predator, no dubbing, I still use the original pattern. Fish on a full sinking or 10 to 15 foot sinking tip, with an untapered leader anywhere from six to 9 feet long. The idea is to fish it so slow that your sinking tip or full sinking like, will be hanging straight down in the water. With the sinking tip it should hang almost straight down from the floating section. So with your leader short and light, I just use 6lb test line, your foam predator will float just above or amongst the tops of the weed bed. It is a killer method and pattern.
The other one I use is Polly Roseborough's Casual Dress. This is a simpler method. When there is alot of emerging dragonflies, you use a floating line, 12' leader or whatever you like. Get it wet so it will slowly sink, then cast to submerged weed beds let it slowly sink, watch your line for the twitch that says you have a take!
When fishing dragonfly nymphs, every few retrieves I give it a couple of fast "pops" - to imitate that 'jet propulsion' a dragonfly might use when it discovers a trout is following it or upon it - and the trout will often HAMMER the nymph after that first quick pop.
Awesome Channel. Im just starting out my channel, Subbed!
Today I touched a fly fishing rod for the first time and I cought a 14 inch crappie in my first cast
And tomorrow you are going to learn how to spell.
