Dreaded Damsel - Olive - Size 12
Description
When fish are feeding on damsel nymphs (which happens a lot in lakes) you need a very accurate imitation to fool them. This pattern uses marabou to copy the swimming motion of the real insect, and a pulled over deer hair head that helps keep this fly neutrally buoyant.
