Snowbee 7 Deadly Damsels Barbless Fly Selection a carefully chosen selection of modern barbless damsel flies designed for stillwater trout fishing, competition angling, and efficient catch and release fishing. These proven lure-style patterns are tied on quality barbless hooks to provide strong hook holds while allowing quick unhooking at the net, making them especially useful on modern commercial fisheries and reservoirs operating barbless-only rules.

The Snowbee 7 Deadly Damsels Barbless Fly Selection brings together seven modern stillwater trout flies aimed at anglers targeting stocked rainbow trout and hard-fighting fish feeding aggressively on larger prey patterns. Damsel imitations remain one of the most reliable methods on reservoirs and commercial fisheries, particularly when trout are hunting mobile food sources in the upper layers.
These flies are designed with catch and release trout fishing in mind, using barbless hooks that help reduce handling time and minimise damage to fish. For competition anglers and regular stillwater anglers alike, that combination of efficient fish handling and dependable hook performance is increasingly important.
Suitable for beginners through to experienced anglers, this selection offers a practical way to cover popular lure fishing tactics without needing to individually select patterns. At troutcatchers, these types of modern damsel patterns are regularly chosen by anglers fishing floating, midge-tip, and intermediate line setups throughout the trout season.
