A few days ago I showed a series of Dragon fly nymphs that I have tied over many years. Some have been very productive, some never turned a head. It was a compilation of pictures to show the materials options and concepts.
Well, as often happens with visitors here, they suggest alternatives, better options that others have created out there. The fine folks at FLYLOOPS.NET pointed to a piece at Tom Sutcliffe’s site, which highlights Herman Botes Papa Roach pattern.


Thank you for the Blog, I really enjoy tying and fishing this pattern. It gives the perfect profile without a complicated tying sequence that is often associated with dragon fly patterns!

I like that mottled rabbit strip in the rear. I had some success with that this past Summer. I am going to tie this pattern and see how I did this Winter. I appreciate you pointing it out!
