Olive Damsel Trout Fly

from the Turrall Nymph Damsel Trout Fly Collection.

The Olive Damsel Trout Fly is a highly effective pattern, renowned for its ability to mimic the natural movement of damselfly nymphs. Originating in the UK, this fly has become a staple in the fly boxes of anglers targeting trout in stillwaters. Its olive-green body, often crafted from marabou or chenille, and bead head design create a lifelike appearance and enticing action in the water.
Key features include its realistic colouration and pulsating tail, which attract trout by imitating the prey's natural behaviour. The Olive Damsel is particularly effective during the summer months when damselflies are most active, making it a must-have for any serious angler..

Olive Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Olive Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective when mimicking the natural movement of a damsel nymph. Use a floating line with a long leader to allow the fly to sink naturally. Cast near weed beds or structures where damsel nymphs are likely to be found. Employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to imitate the swimming action of a nymph. Vary the speed and pauses to trigger strikes, especially during warmer months when damsel nymphs are more active. Fish the fly in clear water for best visibility and use a figure-of-eight retrieve to maintain a lifelike presentation.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Damsel Trout Fly

most effective?
The Olive 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 mimic their movement. The fly works best in warm, sunny conditions when damselflies are most active near the water's surface. During these months, focus on fishing in still waters like lakes and reservoirs where damselfly hatches are prevalent. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times, as trout are more likely to feed on emerging insects.

How does the Turrall Olive Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Olive Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. This fly imitates the slender, elongated body and vibrant olive colour of the damselfly nymph, which is commonly found in still waters. During the nymph stage, damselflies are highly active and swim with a distinctive undulating motion, making them an enticing target for trout. Fish are particularly drawn to these nymphs as they are rich in nutrients and abundant during the warmer months, providing a reliable food source. The Olive Damsel Fly's realistic appearance and movement make it an effective choice for anglers.
