Thanks Tooty. As you know I was trying to imitate the dragonfly nymphs in my pond and I think they turned out pretty good. I'll tell you tying the legs in was the hardest part. I was a little concerned about the pheasant tail I used for the legs cause we know how the gills tend to tear things up so I did make you a couple with rubber legs for you but to me they just don't look as lifelike but I know they will hold up better. If you get a chance give them a try and let me know how they work for you. I used them a couple times in my pond and till them haven't caught a gill so they at least work there being the first gills of the year for me. The grand daughter has caught quit a few gills but she uses earthworms so they do eat live bait and now the RRT dragonfly nymph. Hope they work for you LOL and GOOD FISHIN.......
