Planet Trout reminded me that ‘simple’ is not simple unless a few additional details are offered: black or nickle bead, pupa hook, black sparkle dubbing and pearl core braid (light green or rootbeer) burned and crimped at rear.

      Yes….probably the perfect size in a size 10 say 2x….it is the shorter, stouter dragon nymph as opposed to the longer, more slender pattern. If you query (search box upper right area) dragon flies on SwittersB you will find several past posts re the differences in size/patterns. I like the Kaufmann Dragon a lot and the length can be adjusted.

      No, no..I neglected to give info…Hareline is in Oregon here. I should drop by their factory and see if what they have. Not sure if any retail options there? Thanks for writing…SB/GM
