Crazy build . Love it. 👍

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

Many thanks, brother!

[@michaelburk9171]

Great looking pattern. Interesting to make it a bit longer and thinner and put the wings out sideways to imitate a dragon fly

[@scottbakersb]

Great video some awesome looking flies can't wait for the next one.

Nice tie Jesse. I might also do a few with a light mono weed guard as I bounce a few off the banks and brushy edges around here.

[@BackwaterFlyFishing]

for sure. That would be a good idea.

Hey Jesse, can you post a material list for this fly? I'd love to try to tie some of these up. Thanks for posting some great content, always a pleasure to see your awesome work.

Why the lead on the bend of the hook? Balance?

Exactly
