Damn Good Damsel Fly Tying Tutorial

We didn't invent this fly, and we honestly don't know who originally tied it. We've seen similar versions over the years, but this variation has become one of our favourites whenever trout are focused on damsels.

In this post, we'll walk you through the materials, proportions, and tying steps we use to create a durable, fishable damsel nymph for stillwater trout.

Whether you're fishing damsel migrations, searching weed beds, or simply looking for another productive stillwater pattern, this fly deserves a look.
