Notes:

The Floating Dragon is a "go to" fly for me on any new pond. There are Dragon Flies in almost every pond I've ever been to and most of them have a two year - or longer - nymph stage. I can fish the fly with confidence because I'm positive I'm fishing an imitation of something the trout are already accustomed to. It never hurts to have faith in your fly. -Mike
