First the backstory...RichS gave me a fly as we were getting ready to fish a certain lake. It was a spun deer hair dragon fly nymph with boobie foam eyes. I believe it was the only fly I used all day with success (see below). I recently saw a Phil Rowley video tying the Gomphus, so I suppose that was RichS' inspiration. To simplify the tying process I decided to not use deer hair for the head, so I dubbed the head. Here is my first attempt. I need to beef up the legs and the head needs to be larger. Pretty sure it will fish. As with most deer hair flies the work is in the trimming - go slow. Thank RichS.
