A little something for bass

[Terry C]

I have been seeing damsel flys so thought I would tie a few up today. Hope to put em to use tomorrow.

Nice! I love fishing those for bass and trout!

Those look great! I've always tried using tufts of bucktail, and it never looks nearly as good as that.

I use blue Congo hair. Twist a length of it tight then let it double over itself. It gives it that segmented look. Didn't have blue foam so used white and hit it with blue sharpie. A little black sharpie to highlight segments. Hope it fishes well. Sometimes flies link this cause line twist.

Wow, that looks great, Terry! Hope it catches fish as well as it catches fishers!

Very nice!  And to echo tperkins comment, don't leave 'em out of your trout box.  A couple of years ago, I hiked into a high Uintas lake in Utah and found 15+ inch brookies busting damselfies on top, at times somersaulting a foot out of the water.  And all my damselflies were 2,000 miles away at home in my smallmouth box.  I did fine on the biggest wet flies and buggers I had in my box, but oh how I wish I could have taken them on top that day.

 

I am going back in a few weeks, this time with half a dozen damselflies mixed in with all my usual trout flies.
