Dragon flies in the Pacific Northwest Washington state and in BC Canada get very big I have seen fly fisherman use dragon fly patterns tied on a #2- 3 x streamer hook and catch big trout all day long on them during spring and early summer. Davie ties a beautiful dragon fly .
Congratulations Davie ! You captured the essence of a dragonfly nymph perfectly. Beautiful job!
That's pure art. Was searching for patterns to target Carp this morning and came across this...Thank you Davie!
All I can say is wow. Very realistic looking fly ,I’m always impressed with your tying ability! Perhaps one day I will be able to achieve a little of your tying skills. Thank you again! Have a safe and Happy New Year to all !
Incredible work Davie sir fantastic job looks so realistic 😊👍👍
How many of you guys click the like button before watching the actual video? Or is that just me lol😁. Great imitation of that Dragon fly nymph Sir Davie, loved how you shaped the body👌
Love to see you tie "semi realistic" trout patterns. Instructional, entertaining and tranquilizing. A perfect start of 2022. Thank you Davie - and happy new year from Norway.
It came out great. Great movie and instruction. Greetings from Poland.
that is a great fly were i fish they swamp all summer i under stan they stay in the creek for 2 years before coming out thankyou i have been looking for a good pattern for a long time and as always you come up with the best i have ever seen
Perfect. This will slay here in Alaska the dragonflies in summer are abundant
Wow. Fantastic. Maybe even in black as a drown beetle. Great inspiration
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.

That was fun to watch, love to watch you tye something a bit different you made a great job of it as usual, thanks davie and all the best for the new year.
Absolutely beautiful. I’d love to give that to a beautiful trout. Tight lines
Great Job, Davie ! Excellent presentation clearly expressed ! Thank you for all you bring to life before our very eyes !
That's a masterpiece, Davie! Simple and at the same time, realistic. Aplauses!
Amazingly realistic! Thanks for teaching us how to tie beautiful flies Davie. Wishing you the very best for a wonderful New Year! 👍👍✌️🎣
Still one of the very best Davie
A true piece of art.
Insane fly tying craftsmanship, Davie! Looks like one of those flies that eats away at your dubbing pack 😄
A great start of the day! That is the best looking dragonfly nymph I have ever seen! Great job and thank you for sharing this! Have a great holiday. Atb!
Another braw wee beastie Davie. Thanks for the tips. 👍👏🎣
Nice pattern and excellent tying.
A lovely bug that is right there Davie. A bit daunting but I’ll have a go sometime. Thank you for another one dude. 😊😊😊
Brilliant Davie, l was looking for a Dragon pattern and you delivered an excellent one! Many thanks and Happy New Year
Very beautiful pattern Davie.your are truly amazing.thanks for sharing
Fantastic Davie, love the profile you built and enjoy learning your techniques.
Dragon flys are prime trout food in many ponds and still waters where I am! Never saw one with red eyes here
but easy to modify with melted mono eyes instead! Interesting you put lead lengthwise down each side almost the
same as I have been doing to add weight and shape on my version. Will adapt your version to suit and give it a try!
Thanks! All the best in 2022! 😊
That fly is stunning davie
Incredible tying Davie 👍🏻
Brilliant Davie, Happy New Year And tight lines for the coming season
Excellent! Thank you!

Hi Davie, happy new year. This is one of those flies I will leave to the experts like yourself! Beautifully done, but it’s just a step too far for me to do. I will enjoy just listening to you and watching an expert make it look so easy. Cheers mate. Harera
Damn it. You make it look so easy. Will be a must try at the tying desk as will be superb on our central North Island lakes, Rotorua NZ
What can I say Davie that I haven't said before! Lovely tie.
Thank you.
Very well done I like that fly. Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful beast of dragon Davie. Happy New Year.
If you build up the body with something bouyant like pieces of old floating fly line you'll get a pattern that almost hovers in the water column. Very useful for prospecting around weed beds without getting hung up so much.
Good idea. . . I’ll try that!
Just another great video Sir! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year! KANSAS USA
What a great fly! I will tying a bunch for panfish in the spring. Happy New Year Davie!
That was brilliant Dave, loads of tying styles and tips in that video, also a really realistic looking nymph as well. Happy new year 👏🥃
Masterful as usual Davie. Take care, all the best. Big Davie
Great tying. I would put it in a frame.
