Black Damsel Trout Fly

from the Turrall Nymph Damsel Trout Fly Collection.

The Black Damsel Trout Fly is a highly effective pattern, renowned for its ability to mimic the natural damselfly nymph, a favourite prey of trout. Originating in the UK, this fly has been a staple in anglers' boxes for decades, particularly during the summer months when damselflies are abundant.
Key features include its slender black body, often crafted from chenille or dubbing, and its marabou tail, which provides lifelike movement in the water. The fly's bead head adds weight, ensuring it sinks to the desired depth quickly.
Ideal for stillwater fishing, the Black Damsel is celebrated for enticing even the most cautious trout, making it a must-have for any serious angler..

Black Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Black Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective when mimicking the natural movement of damselfly nymphs. Use a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to sink naturally. Cast near weed beds or along the edges of lakes and slow-moving rivers where damselflies are prevalent. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional short, sharp twitches to imitate the erratic swimming pattern of the nymph. Vary the depth by adjusting the retrieve speed and pausing intermittently to let the fly sink. This technique is particularly effective during warmer months when damselflies are most active.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Damsel Trout Fly

most effective?

The Black Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak activity of damselflies, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, warm weather and increased insect activity create optimal conditions for trout feeding. The fly is especially effective in clear, still waters such as lakes and slow-moving rivers where damselflies are abundant. Overcast days with a slight breeze can enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to be near the surface feeding on emerging insects.

How does the Turrall Black Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Black Damsel trout fishing fly is designed to imitate the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a fish's diet. This fly mimics the slender, elongated body and subtle movements of the damselfly nymph as it navigates through aquatic vegetation. During the nymph stage, damselflies are highly active and abundant, making them an attractive target for trout. Fish are drawn to these nymphs due to their high protein content and the ease with which they can be captured. The Black Damsel fly effectively replicates the natural appearance and behaviour of the nymph, enticing fish to strike.
