Why Does the Damsel Fly Work?

Please support the channel https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lindsaysimi The damsel fly has earned its place as one of the most reliable stillwater patterns in the UK, not through fashion or promotion, but through consistent results over decades of real fishing. In this video, I take a practical look at the damsel fly from two angles: how to tie a balanced, fishable patterns, and how to fish it effectively on stillwaters. We start at the vice, breaking down materials, proportions, and simple tying choices that help the fly move naturally in the water. The focus is on function rather than finish—why certain materials work, how profile and weight affect sink rate, and how small adjustments can make a noticeable difference when trout are feeding on natural damsel nymphs. I cover when and where a damsel fly is most effective, how trout respond to it, and how to fish it with confidence through the season. This is aimed at fly fishers who want a dependable pattern they can understand, tie themselves, and fish with purpose—whether you’re new to stillwater fly fishing or refining a pattern you already trust. 🌐 Connect with us: Instagram: @Lindsay_on_the_fly Facebook: /Lindsay Simpson TicToc: Lindsay_on_the_fly #Flyfishing #fishing #trout #grayling #rainbowtrout #browntrout #flytying #tacklereviews
