Dragon Fly... (Large Pic)

[Quentin]

As my forum rank is "dragon fly nymph," I thought it might be appropriate to share this photo I took near Ottawa last summer. This was the largest dragonfly I'd ever seen; it was huge! That stump it is on is a good 7-8 inches across.

 

Also note the nymphal shuck it is standing on. I haven't seen any patterns that quite imitate that....

Quinten that it one great picturue. I won't want to run into 7 or 8 of those guys. They just might care you away.

See page #2 for an imitation and page #3 for another picture of the Gomphus and halfway down page #4 for both a very good picture of a Gomphus + a decent tie.
