The Chimera. This is a pattern I've morphed over the past couple of years. I fish a lot of lakes that see concentrations of scuds, damsels and callibaetis (dragon flies too). I set out to find a way to loosely imitate aspects of each of these insects, varying only color and size. It's been one of my better patterns as of late. Makes for a good river searching pattern too.
