DAMSEL BARBLESS

Damsel Streamer - lifelike dragonfly larva imitation

The Damsel Streamer is a highly effective fly that imitates the damsel larva, one of the favorite prey of trout and other predatory fish in still and slow flowing water. With its natural pulsating action in the water and its slim, agile profile, the Damsel Streamer immediately attracts the attention of hunting fish.This streamer is particularly effective in spring and summer, when damsel nymphs are massively active in the riparian zones of lakes and ponds.

Ideal for: Trout, bass, carp and other insectivorous fish species

• Water: Still or slow flowing water,ponds, lakes and reservoirs

• Line selection:

  Drift line with long leader for shallow water

  Intermediate or sink tip line for deeper zones or windy conditions

• Presentation:

  Slow hand twist retrieve for natural swimming action

  Short strip-pause strip to mimic escape behavior

  Slow drag along aquatic plants or reed edges

The Damsel Streamer combines a lively marabou tail with a slim, agile body of dubbing or chenille. The subtle movement of the marabou and the soft, rocking action in the water make this fly irresistible to trout hunting dragonfly larvae.

With its realistic silhouette and natural action, the Damsel Streamer is an absolute must-have in any fly box.
