Field Notes

This is a stillwater nymph-style fly designed to imitate a damsel and be fished under an indicator/bung. Use it when trout are feeding subsurface in calm water, especially on lakes and reservoirs. The barbless hook makes it well suited to catch-and-release fly fishing.

Pros

  • Realistic damsel imitation for stillwaters
  • Works well with indicator/bung presentations
  • Barbless hook is fish-friendly

Cons

  • Specialized presentation rather than a general-purpose fly
  • Less effective if fish are feeding on the surface
