Mini Dragon Tail - Fulling Mill Fly
Details
The Dragon Tail, created by Capt. David Mangum, has been used to fool tarpon for years. Somewhat obviously, the pattern's name comes from the tapered chenille material used to created its body/tail. The Dragon Tail swims in a snake-like motion, kicking around behind the wake created by an oversized head.
The Mini Dragon Tail is built just like its older brother, but scaled down for trout and bass applications. Fish it in cold water, warmwater, saltwater... any kind of water, really.
Hook Size: #2
