The 3 dragonfly patterns I came up with for fishing today.

I've fished for dragonfly-hunting trout a fair bit and the pattern I developed was so successful that I've had trout try and take the fly mid-air on false casts. I realised pretty early on that if you don't get the wings just right, the fly will propeller pretty badly, and eventually I just dropped the wings all together.

I tie a body of blue foam to a grub hook (this gives the hook point lots of clearance), then tie in a small triangle of black foam, at the thorax, by the point angling back over the body. Dub some black or blue iridescent dubbing for the thorax. Pull the triangle of black foam over as a thorax cover and tie in behind the eye, leaving the wide part of the triangle overhanging the eye of the hook. This gives the impression of eyes, and doubles as a "popper" style bib, creating a nice wake if you pull it along the surface.

Add some floatant and toss it out there near weeds and grass. Make sure you slap it down like a crashing dragonfly. If there are no takers after about 10 seconds, slowly drag it across the surface, making a little wake, like a struggling dragonfly. Fishing it this way, I've had fish get 6 feet out of the water in a rush to get to the fly. They will often miss, though, so slap it down again in the same spot if you don't hook up, because they will circle back to see if they knocked it down into the water.

I'll try and find a fly to photo for you.

The right one without the lead eyes would be perfect!
