This really was a challenging fly for me cause I wanted to keep it as life like as possible to look like the dragonfly nymph in my pond. One of the hardest things was wrapping the lead with the D-Rib and the second hardest was putting the 6 legs on it but after numerous tries I found the way that worked the best for me. I have used it and did catch some gills with it. I does sink very slowly so you really need to pay attention to your line on the fall.
