Silk Dragon Fly

Post by BrokenolMarine » Mon Apr 03, 2017 11:12 am

It was easy to catch this Silk Dragon Fly... it couldn't be scared away. Look very closely at his belly. :!: Do you see it. :?
There is a hook there. Miss Tina tied this Silk Dragon Fly Realistic, and this is one of the pair that was on Display at Orvis Richmond for Two Plus Years.

When I first posted this pic on our fly tying site, several folks didn't look close and asked when I was posting her fly. :D

Here is a view of the terrarium at the Orvis store. Not the best shot, but you get an idea. ;)

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
