Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Those are really sweet Bruce. I particularly like the last one. Could you put small walk through on that dragon flie up for me. That is something I really want to tie. I see a lot of large bass taking those from the surface where I live and do not have a pattern or walk through in any of my books.
