Red Kicking Damsel Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Red Kicking Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is best used in stillwater environments where damsel nymphs are prevalent. To maximise effectiveness, employ a slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches to mimic the natural swimming action of a damsel nymph. This can be achieved by using a figure-of-eight retrieve or a slow hand-twist method.
For presentation, cast near weed beds or structures where damsels are likely to be found. Allow the fly to sink to the desired depth before starting the retrieve. Vary the speed and pauses to trigger strikes, especially during warmer months when damsel activity is high.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Damsel Trout Fly

most effective?

The Red Kicking Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the damselfly hatch, making it an ideal time to mimic their movement and appearance. The fly excels in warm, sunny conditions when damselflies are most active near the water's surface. It is particularly effective in stillwaters like lakes and reservoirs, where trout are on the lookout for these insects. During overcast days or cooler temperatures, the fly can still be successful, especially in the presence of a hatch.

How does the Turrall Red Kicking Damsel Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Red Kicking Damsel Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. During the warmer months, damselfly nymphs are highly active in freshwater habitats, making them a prime target for feeding fish. The fly's vibrant red colour and kicking action mimic the natural movement and appearance of the nymph as it swims through the water.
Trout are particularly drawn to this stage because the nymphs are abundant, nutritious, and relatively easy to catch, providing an energy-rich meal that supports their growth and survival.
