In this fly tying video, Ben Baxter shows us how to tie the Mini Dragon Tail from Fulling Mill. Check out the video below, as well as the materials list, and a link to purchase the Mini Dragon Tail.

Is it a trout fly, a bass fly or a saltwater fly? Yes. The Dragon Tail was originally developed by Captain David Mangum as a tarpon fly. The Mini Dragon Tail is a sized-down version that can fool fish in any type of water – cold, warm or salt.

The dragon tail has a snake-like movement in the water, as the tapered chenille tail moves in the wake of its oversized head. So whether you’re fishing for big cuttbows, bass or saltwater species, this is a versatile fly that can do it all.
