Are you buying died quills for your streamer patterns or are you using a Copic marker on them? Either way they look great.

I was fortunate enough to have an old school guy teach me how to tie, albeit, very old fashiondly. Bobbins weren't allowed. tear a piece of 8/0 Uni off the spool and go at it by hand. Athough I have always appreciated it and have moved on with "modern" fly tying methods, he gifted me 3 Jungle **** Necks and will have enough for a lifetime... Great Tie!

Dragonfly on a #6 streamer hook. Extended body tied on a bodkin first.

I tend to think of dragonfly larva as more delicious to the fishes than the adults, but it was fun to tie. 🤷‍♂️ At the very least, it should work comparable to a Mr Wiggly, I guess.
