Mike G Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 PS Don't be afraid of the dragon tails. rich sent me some samples to photo. DragonTails by Michael , on Flickr I later used them for tails of articulated Brammer style streamers. shankdragons1 by Michael Gerharz, on Flickr Is the 9 incher a fly or a lure. When wet it weighs a full 1/2 ounce. Cast that on your 3 WT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich mc Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 thanks mike. the fun part of the dragontails is blending different colors together and also different sizes such as 1/4 with 1/2 inch wide, 1/2 with 3/4. there is no need for wire shanks rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich mc Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 the sexy shad fly or jig is a definite, the madtom imitation i will have them to look at but a common creek chub will be a better choice. i was at the iowa fly show saturday and the dnr had a display tank with 2 dozen chubs so i took notes and will demo those. they are also much more available than the madtoms .
