Bill:
The wife is at Laguna Seca taking racing lessons Friday so I will have a few hours to fish. Since everything in the ocean is closed I was going to head to Oneil. I will be there between 9ish and 3ish if anyone wants to join me. I will be testing my new dragonfly topwater plastic!
mooch:
Would love to join you but I gotta work :smt013
Good luck and take photos! :smt023
Did you get the dragonfly in basspro shops or cabelas?
Bill:
I made the dragon flys myself. chopped up a bunch of plastic bug parts, add a little clay, then made a mold with Durham's water putty. Bingo Dragon Fly mold. I will try to post a picture later tonight.
Bill:
Here it is, this is a first pass so it needs a little more work.
Paddle and flies:
Hey Bill, it looks good. Keep us posted on the progress. One question, does it float? I mentioned to you that I've desighed a damsel gurgler fly. Because of its desigh its floats just above the surface,which is what fish expect a real damsel fly to do. It's caught me a lot of bass. As long as they grab it on the first presentation.( the first time it hits the water) I'm talking about big bass, 4lb's and up If there's a damsel hatch happening I can catch them all day they may not always be big but their fun. I'm still of the opinion the perfect damsel fly lure will be one that can hover above the water like a helicopter.( I don't care if I spelled that wrong) Why? On the private waters that I've the privilege to fish I've seen big bass come out of the water over three feet to grab a damsel or a dragonfly.Rickey's believe or not
