That's the exact same chenille that I use for my green gold bead head wool bugger, which is my absolute go-to fly for still waters.I'm excited to tie this dragonfly pattern.
Chenille is still a great tying material. It is now overshadowed by many of the newer materials available today. I hope you can put your stockpile of chenille to good use through a bunch of Guinea Dragons! :) Thanks, Phil
Thanks Maurice. There are a number of different brands of brushable superglue. Wapsi makes one as well as Zap a Gap. Fly shops typically carry those brands. You can also get brushable superglue at Wal Mart, Michaels and home improvement stores such as Lowes or Home Depot. Look for Crazy Glue or Loctite/LePage's brand brushable super glue. Thanks,
I stayed true to the pattern originator. This pattern features a polypropylene underbody which adds a degree of buoyancy Polypropylene is hydrophobic. You could definitely add a foam underbody or eyes if you wanted to further increase its buoyancy. I most often fish this on a slow sinking line such as a hover or clear intermediate line to further help keep it out of trouble. Cheers, Phil
@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing yeah my thoughts exactly. I need to pickup those eyes and that chinelle perhaps I'll grab some foam 👀 as well. Great pattern 👌 thanks again

Thanks, Jeff, it is one of my favorite colors of chenille too. It also makes a great Carey Special.
Cheers, Phil
Phil, thanks for the great tie. A definite add to my fly box!!
Thanks Allan, I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Hopefully the Guinea Dragon performs as well for you as it has for me.
Thanks, Phil
There’s a nice fly to use up some of that stock pile of chenille I bought when I first stared tying

Thanks Mark, it has quickly grown to be one of my favorite dragon nymph patterns.

Maybe some buoyancy tied in somewhere would be nice.
