The Hover Dragon
Nymph
Tied By Rick Passek
Hook: Hends BL 724 size 8-12
Thread: Semperfli Nanosilk in Olive
Body Parts: tail, underbody, body, legs, collar, eyes, abdomen
Materials: Natural Pheasant, 3mm Foam Sheet, Olive Green Chenille, Natural Pheasant, Olive CDC, Green or black momo eyes medium, Peacock Ice Dubbing
Notes:
This is a pattern that I love fishing just above the weeds. Because of the underbody foam, it allows this pattern to hover, so I like using a fast sink line (type 5-7) and casting over weeds and letting the line sink and allowing the fly to float above the weeds. Some aggressive pops of the fly line will entice the bite.
