The Month of June

 

Common Name:

  • Damsel Nymph
  • · When you begin to see Adult Damsels on the lake in small numbers, a Damselfly nymph pattern fished on a wet line can be lethal for taking large trout. Damselfly nymphs spend their time among the vegetation at the bottom of a shoal or drop-off area and migrate towards the shore and at times in large groups. Chances are, trout will seek the nymphs while this migration is on.
  • · Damselfly nymphs will make their way to shore swimming just under the surface film before exiting the water so using a floating line will also be very productive .
  • Hook size : Long Shank 10 or 12

    Body Olive seals fur substitute
